F5 migration

hi,

 

We are working migrate F5 from Viprion hosted guest to new R10900 Tennent, both old and new running on 17.x version but old F5 has huge number of as3 deployed config from big-iq and 200+ legacy vips..

 

What is best way we can migrate this kind mixed environment and how to make sure big-iq still works fine with new target post migration..

  • Migrating a mixed F5 environment (AS3 from BIG-IQ and legacy VIPs) to a new R10900 tenant requires meticulous planning. Start with a comprehensive inventory and compatibility check. Migrate AS3 deployments via BIG-IQ export/import, and legacy VIPs using UCS/SCF or manual reconfiguration, ideally in phases. Ensure seamless BIG-IQ integration for device management, application services, and monitoring. Thoroughly validate functionality, performance, and security post-migration, and have a robust rollback plan. Automation and clear communication are key to minimizing downtime and ensuring a smooth transition.
