@sebastian-roth said in Transfer host hardware information from .32 to 1.4.3+:
@dsloan-ethra Though I am fairly sure the table structures of both hosts and inventory are slightly different from 0.32 to 1.4.4. So after thinking about this a little more I see that my suggestion on export/import just fog.inventory might have led you the wrong way at first, sorry for that. Most probably there always is an issue using mysqldump if you don’t do the entire database and let the schema updater work on it afterwards! So this is your only chance with the inventory table as there hasn’t been an export for this in 0.32. So even if we’d add an import function now you wouldn’t be able to use it as you cannot export from 0.32.
I understand that the feature won’t be in .32, but having the ability to export and import the Inventory information with the hosts might be useful for future releases even so. I also would like to suggest that the “Host Hardware Inventory” page always be editable, or at least allow the 3 editable fields to show up even if hardware information is unavailable (Primary User, Other Tag #1, and Other Tag #2). When there is no hardware data, the page is nearly blank with the words simply saying “No results found.” The last resort for me was to manually re-type (or script) the data to be pulled from the old DB and entered into the fields, but the fields wouldn’t be available on the screen because there was no hardware information. However, in my humble opinion, that shouldn’t stop me from being able to enter data into those 3 fields manually.
Thank you again for the help! I do appreciate it.
