F5 rSeries deployment and migration
- Aug 29, 2025
I used the UCS platform-migrate approach to migrate vCMP guest to rSeries Tenant and it worked perfectly fine as I have all the config. Below is the link.
I will personally always find it easier to create a new Tenant/VM, add it as node to existing cluster and let it sync.
The only drawback is you need new Self IPs and most probably new Firewall rules.
You can always remove the standby node from the cluster, use it's IPs to the new one and add it to the cluster
The issue could be if the versions are different as for example going from 14.1.x to 15.1.x/17.1.x on the new platform. Also here is not the case but for devices without vCMP to be migrated to a Tenant without the journeys tool that will clean the USC config from things like vlan/interface/trunk but with the existing cluster option have you tried that Injeyan_Kostas ?

Nikoolayy1 I am migrating from version 14.1.2.8 to new rSeries and I believe, tenants need to be created manually, even if I upload the vCMP host UCS file having guest configuration, it will not work, is that correct?
and once rSeries platform the prepared with network layer configuration, will upload the guest UCS file on tenants, pls let me know if you agree with this approach. - Injeyan_KostasJul 03, 2025
