You have a lot (hundreds) of default context lists in your BorderManager 3.8 (or less) and you need to export all the lists to setup a new BorderManager 3.9.

You can´t use the upgrade option to migrate the BorderManager.

Try this.

First Phase

• Take the remote console of the BorderManager server. The server must have a Master RW eDirectory réplica.
  Use ADREM Free Console because it allows copy & paste.
• Load DSBROWSER and search for the BorderManager Server. Press Enter.
• Select "View Attributes" and press Enter.
• Search "BRDSRVS: default..." and press Enter.
  You should see all BorderManager default contexts. Looks like: BRDSRVS: default ... [Value 00000001]
• Select BRDSRVS: default ... [Value 00000001]. Press Enter.
• Select "View Value Details". Press Enter.
• Select "Press to display the attribute data in hex". Press Enter.
• Now, you can see a long string in hexadecimal; something like this:
  30000000 0D000000 4243562E 54524545 2D534544 46
• Copy the whole string, except the last two digits.
  Example: 30000000 0D000000 4243562E 54524545 2D534544
• Convert the hexadecimal string to text with any converter.
  (Search in Internet for tools to convert hexadecimal to txt).
  Also, you can use any online converter. http://www.paulschou.com/tools/xlate is a good one.
• Paste the result in any text editor.
• Repeat this for all the BorderManager default contexts and save the text.
• Modify the text file to put some new lines and convert it into an XLM format file.

ContextList.
Context NDSContext="context1.tree" /
Context NDSContext="context2.tree" /
Context NDSContext="context3.tree" /
Context NDSContext="contextn.tree" /
/ContextList

Don´t forget the <>.

Second Phase

• Using iManager, open the configuration of the new BorderManager 3.9 server.
• Select "Proxy Services" option.
• Select Proxy Configuration and make a backup config.xml file.
• Edit the backup config.xml file.
• Search for /SessionFailOver between <>. Below paste all the context list.

Example:

/SessionFailOver
ContextList.
Context NDSContext="context1.tree" /
Context NDSContext="context2.tree" /
Context NDSContext="context3.tree" /
Context NDSContext="contextn.tree" /
/ContextList

Don´t forget the <> for all the lines.

• Save config.xml file.
• Reimport the config.xml file into the server

Ready!

I hope this helps.
