AltostratusUpgrade from 2150-2250 blades
I am planning an upgrade from 2150 blades to 2250 blades. Single blade in each chassis. Not finding any docs regarding this patch. I have upgraded from 2100-2150 in the past and do see those docs out there. I could also rebuild from scratch using UCS files. Also have concerns as interfaces will be different, instead of 1.1-1.8, they will be 1.1-1.4 and 2.1-2.4
Are there any docs out there regarding this path, or has anyone done this so I can understand what I am to expect.
Migrating 2150 blade (Existing chassis) to new 2250 blade (new F5 chassis):
- Take UCS backup of present devices.
- Configure management IP on new blades with different IP.
- Restore the UCS files on new blades with no-license and no-platform-check commands
- Make sure new blades are connected to different switch ports.
- Now change the interfaces 1.1-1.4 and 2.1-2.4 (1.5 to 1.8 move here) on new blades and assign respective VLANs/Self IP's.
- Make sure all configurations are in place before the maintenace activity.
- During the maintenance activity day disable interfaces on existing 2150 F5 and enable it on new 2250 blade.
- Clear the arp entries on connected switches for the subnets which are configured on F5.
Hope this helps and let me know if any more information is required.

kevin5866_19733This is my backup plan, was wondering if anyone has done the auto upgrade that I have used in the past to go from 2100 to 2150/2250, in this case going from 2150 to 2250.
