replacing blade 2100 to 2150 viprion c2400
greetings all,
i am newbie on installing viprion series, my customer has viprion C2400 with existing blade 2100 which is end of life device, right now they have already purchase 2150 to replace the 2100. i have seen the link Replacing a blade in a VIPRION system that has only one blade installed (f5.com) , my question is, is it possible if we install the replacement blade in the VIPRION chassis while leaving the existing blade in the chassis and let the cluster replicate the configuration to the replacement blade ? please advice
thank you
Hi~ I'm not sure of the answer but did find a couple other Support articles that might help:
Manual : VIPRION Systems: Blade Migration
and from that Article, there is:
Example 5: Replacing a single blade
That is correct. I would tell you that you probably want to have a maintenance window ready and a proactive case with F5 support. Just in case. It's a major event. Start with the backup VIPRION. Once it's back up.. and it will take time to boot.. you fail to it. Then do the other. Fail back if you want to, but no hurry. 🙂
