If you weren't able to migrate the devices in the site export, you can still get the SSH credentials for the devices from the backup under Settings > Site > (Enable advanced features first) > Device Authentication section, and then you can set-inform them to HostiFi without having to factory reset them. If the devices did reconnect, you can move them with the configuration as well.
#SET INFORM UNIFI INSTALL#
You could temporarily install UniFi on your laptop for this.Īfter restoring the backup, the devices might not reconnect, but you can do the site import/export wizard to move the network configuration. Devices may need to be set-inform manually if they don't reconnect to the old controller after you restore from backup, but at least you won't have to hold the factory reset pin on them since you'll have access to their credentials inside the backup file.įirst, restore the backup to a UniFi controller on the local network. You should be able to migrate the network configuration in this case. The old controller is offline, but you have a backup Since you have the SSH credentials for the devices, you can set-inform them to HostiFi without having to factory reset them. In this case, you won't be able to migrate the network configuration, but at least you don't have to factory reset all of the devices by holding the reset pins. You have the device SSH credentials, but no backups, or access to the UniFi controller You'll need to hold the factory reset pin on each device to set it back to default credentials of username ubnt, password ubnt, then you will be able to follow the set-inform instructions to adopt the device to the new site you created on the HostiFi server. Without the device credentials, you won't be able to set-inform them. In this case you won't be able to migrate any network settings over, so everything will need to be manually recreated on your HostiFi server site. All the devices will have to be physically factory reset by holding the reset pin, and all network configurations will have to be recreated on the new server. No access to device SSH credentials, backups, or UniFi controller
#SET INFORM UNIFI HOW TO#
In this article we will cover several scenarios with steps on how to handle the migration.
Sometimes you may need to migrate a UniFi site for which you don't have access to the controller due to server corruption, lost credentials, or a previous installer who didn't provide access.
