Viprion 2400 -- migrating from 2150B to 2250B

Hi,

"vCMP

1. Create similar Host/Guest configuration on 2250B with same VLAN, Trunks and Interface configuration
2. Assign same amount of resources to each Guest

"

There is no need to recreate Host config with VLANS and Guests. You can take a UCS Archive backup of Host on old blade before replacing it. And then, after the old blade is replaced with new one, you can simply activate the license and restore config using UCS archive.

Following articles help you in the processes:

"Since 2250 is new and most probably with new version, I'll have to downgrade the version to match the same version as running on 2150B in order to successfully migrate."

It depends on which version you are currently using. New blades support certain TMOS version and above. You cannot downgrade beyond certain version.

"One thing, since mixing of different blades aren't possible under same Chassis, who will I configure the Blade with above mentioned steps. Moreover, do i need to configure the same 2400Chassis once 2250 is installed, apologies as i'm newbiw ^_^"

I am not sure if I understood well. You cannot run 2 different blades at once.

Very High level POA::

1) Take UCS backup of Host and all its gusts

2) Swap the blades

3) reactivate the License

4) Restore Host UCS and validate

5) Restore Guest UCS files and validate

Hope this helps.
