Migration to C35

[Stephen_McGuire]

Hello,

I have a general question regarding migrating from two C25's to two C35's.

Is there an FAQ or document that can assist in this migration? I seached the GTAK kb without any success.

Related, I am also about to upgrade my NetSight server (6.3.0.174) to Extreme Management Center (8.x).

I believe I need to upgrade the NetSight (at least 6.3.0.186 or higher) and NAC before the wireless controllers. We do use Policy Manager and Oneview not Purview.

Would love some advice on the best migration path.

Thanks! Hardware wise we just got a new server, 16 cores, 64gb, 600gb disks, little light on the disks but we are considered a "small" - "medium" size based on that list so I think we're good.

I wasn't able to use that link, prompted for a login.

Hi Stephen,

sounds good, so install the same version on the C35 and export/import the configuration as mentioned by Craig.

Have you checked the release notes for EMC v8 for the higher CPU/RAM/HDD requirements ?

I'd upgrade to EMC v8 before replacing the controller pair - I'd leave it running for some time to see whether everything is working fine before you replace the controller pair.

Honestly, I'm not 100% sure if we even do use that...
