Cluster configuration migrate from c160 to virtual image appliance

[ColinJS]

Hi There.

Are you aware of any procedure migrating cluster configuration from C160 (8.5.6-106) to C000V (9.0.0-500)?

Many Thanks,

YV

The simple thing to do is to download the 8.5 image of the VM... and upgrade that to match the revision on the C160 (hardware) you have running.

Once the revisions match - use clusterconfig to join the VM to the hardware.  This will copy over the existing configuration to the VM at that time.  After - you can use clusterconfig and removemachine to destroy the cluster.  Upgrade the VM then at that time to 9.x.  It will retain the configuration from the hardware, and you'll be able to take advantage of AsyncOS 9.x at that time.
