Commit Migration Changes Manually to Cloud-delivered Firewall Management Center

We recommend that you commit migration changes manually if you are convinced with your changes and not waiting for Security Cloud Control to auto commit changes. The Commit Migration Changes window shows the remaining days to commit the migration to cloud-delivered Firewall Management Center or revert the device to on-premises management center. During the evaluation period, you can modify the actions for selected threat defense devices before committing the changes. Once the changes are committed, you can't revoke the actions.

Note

The commit manager changes actions are disabled in the following conditions:

  • The 14-day evaluation period has passed.

  • The threat defense devices have either been reverted to the on-premises management center or deleted from on-premises management center, in which case, no further actions can be taken.

Procedure

Step 1

In the migration jobs page, click the under the Actions column of a completed job.

Step 2

Click Commit Migration Changes. (This link is available only after a job is completed successfully.)

Step 3

Select a device and in the Commit Actions list, choose one of the following actions:

  • Retain on OnPrem FMC for Analytics: After committing the changes, analytics management for selected threat defense devices is retained on the management center.
  • DeleteThreat Defense from OnPrem FMC: After committing the changes, the selected devices are removed from the on-premises management center and are available for Security Cloud Control to handle the analytics. You must configure the threat defense to send events to Security Cloud Control for managing analytics. After the threat defense devices are deleted from the on-premises management center, they cannot be revoked.
Note

If you want to revert the device management to on-premises management center, refer to Revert the Threat Defense Management to On-Premises Firewall Management Center.

Step 4

Click Commit executes your specified actions immediately without further confirmation.

On the migration jobs screen, you can expand the job to check the progress of the actions specified.

The migrated devices appear on Security Cloud Control's Security Devices page. These devices can be managed using the cloud-delivered Firewall Management Center portal that is linked to Security Cloud Control. Ensure you deploy the changes to the devices from cloud-delivered Firewall Management Center.
