Replace running C220 with new server RMA

[Hythim Ali El Hadad]

Hi,

We have a running C220 with a problem in VGA interface

We do RMA and the new server arrive

We have ESXi with Vcenter, hyperflex VM and other windows server VMs running on the old server

Is it simple to move the HDDs to the new server with the same order and it'll prompt to import the RAID configuration to the new server ? or we should do any pre-steps before moving the HDDs ?

We don't need to loss any data during this migration

Thanks

Typically you'd just "move all the parts over" then power on the new server.

Hyperflex does some things under-the-hood which require modifications which TAC can do to "replace the motherboard".

Please open a Cisco TAC case and have TAC walk through this workflow with you.
