IRONPORT ALIAS .TXT FILE NOT IN BOTH CLUSTERS

[Bighead81]

I have a .txt for email redirection (alias - import/export) which appear only within one cluster, the other cluster is without alias .txt at all.  Is it neccesary for the alias to be contained within both.  Could someone provide answer or direct me to website which contains the info.

To apply an Exported Alias file to another ESA (or a cluster of ESAs), you must Import that data to the other ESA or Cluster.  First you must upload the file to the ESA that will be Importing the data.  The upload is done via SCP (preferred for security) or FTP and the file must exist in the directory called 'configuration'.

Once the file is uploaded, you can do the Import from the CLI using these steps:

x1070r01.csw> aliasconfig

No aliases in table.

Choose the operation you want to perform:
- NEW - Create a new entry.
- IMPORT - Import aliases from a file.
[]> import

Enter the name of the file on machine "x1070r01.csw" to import:
[]> exported_file.txt

Once all the data is Imported, it will take effect upon 'commit'.
