Hi ,

 

thanks for your response , However problem is that on blade 2100 we cannot do a upgrade because its hard to get the approval form app owners twice one during migration and other one during upgrade

another problem with code upgrade that on blade 2100 we could not upgrade to 13.1.3.4 that has a vulnerability fix because 2100 is end of software development .

can we upgrade 11.6.1 to 12.1.5.2 on blade 2100 which is eosd will it work ?

and what would be the best of migration app to app migration or bulk migration in one go ?

if we try to restore the ucs on 12.x or 13.x which created on 11.6 with platform-migrate no-license than i believe issue is with bigip_base only which will not be copied correctly however I believe bigip.conf will be copied correct correct ?

 

requst you to answer above mentioend qurey

Hello RS.

 

K9476 states:

"Platform support is not provided in software major or minor versions released after the platform EoNSS date. For information"

 

But I have to say that I installed 2.1.5.2 in a 3900 chassis (EoSD) without issue before. So you can try it, but it's your responsibility.

 

My recommendation is to keep both devices in the same release, export a UCS of the first device and import the UCS into the new chassis using 'platform-migrate'. Interface mapping could be changing so take care about it.

 

Please, don't forget to give upvotes or mark the answer as 'the best' if it solves your issue.

 

Regards,

Dario.
