NimbostratusBest Practice for moving from 6400 to 3900
Have two aging 6400 LTM and want to move to 3900's. What is the best way of doing this? The IP's will stay the same. If I back up the 6400 and recover on the 3900 would that work? Or will I have ...
You can restore UCS archives with a no-platform-check argument. I forget what it is, but you can easily find this out.
If that succeeds for you (meaning there are no hardware-centric configuration features in use, then you're in luck.
Else, you might be able to manually edit the bigip_base.conf (especially to use correct interface references) and attempt to place them on the box manually and load them.
for the bigip.conf file, as long as all the requisite files (ssl certs and keys etc) are present on the new box, you should not have much difficulty loading it -- this is especially true if you restore to the same software version.
