iApps with load ucs Platform-migrate on newer hardware

I see that iApps are deprecated and the latest recommendation is using FAST

 

1. When we load UCS file from iSeries to RSeries using platform migrate. How are iApps copied? or Are they not copied and we are supposed to do it manually by using either enabling deprecated iApps or FAST?

2. Is it a good practice to load the config after the new pair of F5s are in HA with no VIPs but just self IPs and VLANS

  • HI

    iApps are part of the UCS and will be imported during restore. If you are using the F5 Journey tool to migrate the configuration then it should work just fine.

     

    You should run the initial wizard after installing the new tenant on the rSeries (I'm not sure why this is needed). When you have a blank device you follow the instructions and commands from the migration tool and everything will be imported. However you will need to rebuild the cluster as that part of the configuration will be reset. It is not a big deal just do what you normal would do to create a new cluster.
