F5 Migration
Hi Dears, If I wanna migrate from two F5 devices in HA mode to a new one device, Should I extract the UCS file before splitting the HA or it is normal to generate the UCS file in HA mode?
Hi Gemini6,
When you restore a HA UCS to a single unit, it will assume Active Unit config, IP addresses, etc and create IP conflict on the network.
I would setup a single unit on a network and disable its ports ( internal, external, dmz etc.) probably at the network switch level and made it accessible only from its management port.
Then I will restore the UCS to a single unit and verify the configuration. May be adjust IP addresses if needed and then bring it live on the network.
The single unit also assume there will be a standby unit and have HA config. You can either leave it as is or may be clean up.
I hope it helps.
