Restore 6324 Mini backup to 6454 FI

[kleetuss14]

Is it supported to backup the configuration on a 6324 Mini and restore it to a 6454 FI ? Any documentation out there on the process?

The goal is to convert an existing UCS mini environment to full FIs.

I've been searching but not finding much on this topic other than a few posts saying a conversion is possible.

Hi ,

there are no official document for the same, however i would say this would be the best bet for you to backup the configuration on a 6324 Mini and restore it to a 6454 FI as migration from 6324 to 64XX  is NOT supported #

Hi!

I tried to restore full backup, but now I can't configure more than 5 first ports on FI6454.

May be I need to use import configuration all with Preserve Identities
