ESA Cluster Design

[Justice Nsude]

Hi Guys,

Attached is a network design I have for a customer.

The scenario:

There are  ESA C690 X 3 that will replace (C670)s..

The exact requirement is to

1. come up with the best design to setup the 3 ESA boxes in Cluster and migrate the config from Old to new boxes.

2. Setup another set of 2 SMAs in HA.

3. ensure there is no down time during the migration (I need to be sure this possible before responding to the customer)

I will appreciate to understand how the physical boxes will connect as I have tried looking documentations with limited success.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

  Justice

What is the firmware version for your C670 devices?

Perhaps you should consider:

a) Get ESAv for the same version of C670;

b) Load configuration from C670 in the C600V;

c) Upgrade C600V to the version on C690

d) Load the Configuration from C600V on C690

It is not easy but it can be achieved.

There is a configuration migration tool from hardware to virtual devices. The tool works for older versions of the AsyncOS through.

Hope that helps.
