Migration from virtual to hw appliance
Dear all,
I'm managing an old BIG-IP VE cluster running release 12.1.1 and provisioned with LTM, ASM and APM. Now we have a new couple of BIG-IP i7600 running version 14.1.0.2 provisioned with LTM and APM modules. I need to migrate the configuration (many virtual servers and APM policies) from the virtual to the appliances but I'm not able to do this. I made some tries:
- Imported an ucs from the old to the new one and installed with no-license and platform-migrate flag: no success
- Downgraded new units from 14.0.2 to 12.1.1 and installed the ucs file as described before: no success
- Tried a migration with the migration tool assistant: no success
Have you any idea how to solve this? Adding new appliances on device group from old cluster is not a choice because APM doesn't support more than 2 unit at a time. I cannot believe ther isn't a method to migrate configurations, should I reconfigure all the virtual servers/policies/iRules and so on by hand?
I hope you can help me.
