Yes, you can unassign the service profile from B200 M3 and assign it to B200 M4. However, there might be potential issues due to hardware differences, firmware versions, and drivers.
Here's a recommended approach to avoid any issues:
1. Ensure that your B200 M4 blade is compatible with the ESXi 6.7 version. You can check the VMware Compatibility Guide for this information:
https://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php2. Before unassigning the profile, make sure to update the firmware of the B200 M4 to match the firmware versions defined in the service profile. You can do this by creating a temporary service profile with the same firmware version as the B200 M3, and then associating it with the B200 M4.
3. Backup your current configuration on B200 M3 before proceeding.
4. Unassign the service profile from the B200 M3 and assign it to the B200 M4. The server should be able to boot up with the existing ESXi 6.7 installation.
5. Once the server boots up on the B200 M4, you'll need to identify and remove any outdated drivers and install the appropriate drivers for the B200 M4 hardware. You can find the Cisco Custom ISO for your ESXi version here:
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/servers-unified-computing/ucs-b-series-blade-servers/tsd-products-support-series-home.html6. After updating the drivers, you can proceed with upgrading to ESXi 7.0. Make sure to verify that your B200 M4 hardware is compatible with ESXi 7.0 using the VMware Compatibility Guide.
By following these steps, you should be able to minimize potential issues when unassigning the service profile from B200 M3 and assigning it to B200 M4.
