Location Tree Changes

During the upgrade from the previous release, most existing locations will migrate to the new site concept. Some cases require manual resolution. The following scenarios illustrate both successful migrations, and migrations that require administrator action to complete:

Scenario 1: Location > Building > Floor

Migrates to Site > Building > Floor

Scenario 2: Location > Location > Building > Floor

Migrates to Site Group > Site > Building > Floor

Scenario 3: Location > Location > Location > Building > Floor

Migrates to Site Group > Site Group > Site > Building > Floor

Scenario 4: Location > Location > Location > Location > Building > Floor

Migrates to Site Group > Site Group > Site Group > Site > Building > Floor. However, the site cannot be edited and you cannot make changes within the third nested site group.

Manually move the affected sites so that they have no more than two levels of nested site groups. ExtremeCloud IQ supports two levels of site groups.

Scenario 5: Building > Floor

Migrates to Building > Floor. As a best practice, Extreme Networks recommends that you manually define a site and associate the building to the new site.

Important

Initially, locations migrated to sites are not editable because they do not have the country code specified. The country code is required; manually specify the country code for each migrated site.
