Hi Community,
I currently got a interesting case:
Existing PA5250 with 6 vsys instances and I want to cleanup a few unused objects, do multi-tagging and so on.
After doing the optimization and after generating output, I've lost all policies - I was lucky, to check the config before importing.
I thougt, maybe a few changes where to much, so I created a new project and only imported and exported the config - same behavior.
My input xml with 5 MB is shrunk to 2,5M optimized - with loosing all policies.
Does anyone have an idea, if multi-vsys is supported with expedition or what might get wrong?
Newest expedition with 1.1.87 in use
Best Regards
Chacko

Expedition do supports multi-vsys configuration, if it does not work for you, please open a TAC case and upload your firewall configuration there, please send an email to fwmigrate@paloaltonetworks.com to inform us about the case#.

Hi @lychiang,
just to verify: I can import a multi-vsys config, go to objects, click on remove all unused and then go to export and click on generate config.
Is that the supposed way to do that or am I missing a step?
Best Regards

Hi @Chacko42 ,
That's the correct step, after you removed the unused objects and you will go to export, make sure the base file name matched the PAN-OS configuration file you imported, then click on "Generate XML & SetOutput", you can then download the xml or download the zip file , in the zip file, there is a file named MT-*-pretty.xml, that xml file will be more readable for you, it is the same contents if you just download the xml file.

Alright, so the procedure is the same as with single-vsys.
TAC case is created: #01662682

@Chacko42 I am not seeing any configuration file attached to the case, can you please upload your running configuration to the case.

Please find the uploaded running config in the case files

@Chacko42 I verified your configuration,I did not see any policy was missing after export the configuration, you can try export the config from the expedition and create a new project and import the exported configuration and see if you seeing the security policies.
