1. Prepare API tool (postman)
2. Get Auth token from NSM to run the API
3. Run the API from tool (postman)

1.1 Click on "+" to create new collection:

1.2 Then right click on "New Collection" to rename it something like "NSM On-Prem Migrate Tenant":

1.3 After rename, Click "Add New Request" and rename it to something like "Migrate Tenant":

1.4 Now click on "GET" button and select "PUT" from dropdown list:

1.5 Enter URL after "PUT" box (replace the IP/port with your own NSM):

https://192.168.167.120/api/manager/devices/migrateTenant

1.6 Go to Headers, enter following in KEY/VALUE and it will look like this as in above screenshot:

x-gms-mode/True

x-snwl-timer/no-reset

1.7 After entering, click on "Save":

Step 2. Find out Authentication Bearer Token and tenantID for NSM

2.1 Open NSM login page and open ‘Developer Tools’ :

2.2 Once logged in NSM, change the tenant from "Global Default Tenant" to "All Tenants". scroll on the left panel in ‘Developer Tools’ and find "data" and copy the "authorization: Bearer", starting with ‘ey’:

[{"msw_tenant_id":"", "name":"Global Default Tenant","alias":"DefaultTenant","log_level":4,"alert_level":2,"registeredDevicesCount":0,"fqdn":"","migrated":false,
"id":"a4371f74-ed0b-4f5a-82e0-448aa618fd58"},{"msw_tenant_id":"",
"name":"tenant 1","alias":"","log_level":3,"alert_level":2,"registeredDevicesCount":0,"fqdn":"","migrated":false,
"id":"a019b28f-1578-42e5-b52a-61f748ca8bce"}]

Step 3: Run API to sync firewalls
