Need to Replace the MDS 9148 with new MDS 9148T

[jeanpa2009]

Hello,

I need to replace the MDS 9148 with the new MDS 9148T. What is the best procedure to do it?

1. Can I take a configuration file from the old 9148 to the new 9148T? 

2. Can I use the zone migration tool?

Hello again,

So I decided to continue with ISL between the old MDS and the new MDS9148T. Now I can see the zoneset active on the new switch, but I don't see the fcalias and the zones themselves. Would I see them only after I'll disconnect the FC cable from the old MDS to the new MDS?
