Solved: VSM on VMware to 1010 migration

Patrick Colbeck · ‎02-03-2012

Hi

Due to 1010s being back ordered at the moment we need to do some testing using VSM on VMware. Will it be possible to migrate a 4.2(1)SV1(5.1) VMware based 1000v installation onto a 1010 or do I need to go with an older version of 1000v software ?

Thanks

Pat

Hi Pat. The short answer to your question is "yes".

Since 1.5 has just recently been released, the Nexus 1010 will be coming with a new software version as well in mid-to-late February (this month). In this new release, there is a new feature to allow you to migrate existing VSM as a VM onto the 1010. Previously it was possible to do but could be combersome for some customers. This new feature will minimize this task but moving from VSM as a VM to Nexus 1010 does require to have proper network settings. There will be documentation on this process and our TME team will work on a "cheat sheet" in the near future.
