NimbostratusMigrating from BIG-IP 2000 to rSeries 2600.
Hello, I have an old install, containing a cluster of big-ip 2000 series, running version 13.1.1.4 This needs to be migrated to a cluster of rSeries 2600 boxes. Im not really experienced upgrading ...
1. Please remember the the R 2600 series parent or Host OS which is called F5 OS is entirel different configuration items like interface /vlans creation commands are entirely diffrent than old TMSh shell.
So thos commands conversion you have to plan your steps manually either using GUI or using the F5 OS cli commands.
2. The Guest or Child VM still uses TMSH shell and BIGIP OS, so there you can take the help of the F5 Journeys for configuration ocde migration.
Please reach out to me for more details as I have done migration from i11k series to r10500 series, multiple machines and thousand of VIPs migration.
I have uploaded the F5 Migration Planning from iSeries to r Series

OlofLThanks for the guide! I have not read it yet, but would you try to upgrade the two hardware versions as close to each other before migrating, or just make one big migration jump?
