F5 Hardware refresh

Hi Guys,   I am planning for a refresh to our existing EOS F5 LTM Platform 3600 (running LTM, ASM, SSL) to new i2600.   Anyone went through similar refresh? I would like to have some suggestions...

I have migrated 3600 LTM Platform to i5000 series but make sure software version should be same on OLD and NEW load balacner.

 

My software is also EOS 11.6.3 and the target software is v15.

# Make current 3600 LB to 11.x.x ==> 12.x ==> 13.x

# Make i2600 Series to 13.x and install UCS.

# Later move to 15.x stable version.

 

Else Lot of issue will come and difficult to solve in limited time window. Best to connect with professional support if any questions.

    Hi Samir,

     

    Thanks for your reply.

     

    Did you perform platform migrate option.

     

    Do you have the steps handy? Also is 3600 able to go > 12 > 13 ? I heard from F5 there could be limitation. But based on your comment I will get back to F5.

     

    Cheers,

    Rony
