Blade Migration Script Location
- Oct 02, 2015
We just got done doing this. Yes, the script comes loaded on the blades. Just as a helping note, make sure you have all the image ISOs on your host and vCMP guests if using vCMP for the installed volumes you have. If not, it will just sit there waiting for the ISOs to be available.

- mthornton42_217Oct 02, 2015NimbostratusThanks for the tip, but we are not using vCMP. How long did your install take? Are you running HA, and if so are there any special considerations?
- Brad_Parker_139Oct 02, 2015Nacreouswell since you are not running vCMP it shouldn't take you as long. Took us about 4 hours since we had 4 vCMP guests. I would say each blade it self would be about an hour being liberal. Probably less if you aren't doing anything other than just a straight swap. You going from 2100 to 2150 or 2250?
- mthornton42_217Oct 05, 2015NimbostratusWe're going from single 2100 to 2 x 2150.

Brad, quick question for you: Have you had to bring the firmware on the new blade to the same version as the active one before you executed the script (chassisConfigUpgrade.pm)? I ran into issues while replacing the blade and I didn't know I had to have all ISO/HotFix available on the hypervisor (even for the boot-location that are not in use). I opened a support case with F5, and we tried upgrading the new blade via the CLI and all and eventually ran out of time on the maintenance window.
For the record, we are replacing a single blade system using a 2150 (slot 1) by a 2250 (slot 2).

Hi Brad,
We are planning to migrate from 1 blade of B4300 to 1 blade of B4450. Is this the same procedure that we should follow as mentioned above or is there any different procedure to do this migration. Can i install B4450 to the viprion Chassis while B4300 as primary and do the chassisConfigUpgrade.pm script transfer to the new blade?
