AltocumulusOne-Arm Mode Migration
Sounds ok to me. Just check that the ARP is enabled on the virtual address of the VIP. By default it is, but to be sure please check.
In case you have issues make sure you check the arp table on the firewall and the vip ip is pointing to the right mac address. Probably it be good to check this before you migrate a vip , and record the mac address so you can compare it.
Sri_Narasimha_05 the UCS restore overrides all configuration of the new device when imported last I had to do one with the exception of validating various difference between platforms when you use the platform migrate. You might try a UCS restore on a virtual appliance first in a sandbox to see exactly what happens.
AltocumulusThanks so much for the valuable assistance provided.
I've been told that SCF file doesn't include the SSL certs. Sure, I'll look after the possibility of using SCF file as well.
Just a final query, if the 'platform'migrate' option is being used,
My intention is to connect the new pair of F5s on the New management IP and dedicated HA (and not connect the TMM interfaces). Once imported and verified, then connect the interfaces for data processing.
I hope you're referring to the below about TMM interfaces and not the Management interfaces, so the imported file doesn't override the existing management IP.
"but keep in mind that you should not have the new F5s plugged into the network at all when you do this or you will cause connectivity issues to the existing F5s"
