WSA migration from virtual to HW appliance

[gavurnik]

Is documented way to migrate WSA from virtual to HW appliance?

High level.

As Long as you have same version of code running, take the backup of Virtual one and import hardware appliance offline.

verify all the configuration imported with out any errors 

Depends on requirement if the IP changing P1/P2/M change accordingly once imported and make some test if IP changed.

if you looking using Same IP, then you need turn off OLD WSA and bring new one Online in maintenance window and test it.

Note : until all full working do not make any major changes and do not remove Virtual WSA (in case required to roleback)

Thank you so much for reaching out, 

in addition to Balaji, please consider your virtual WSA's license, before migrating, please make sure both devices are having same features enabled.

while migrating, it is best to take a backup of the certificates used in the old device, such as ISE, Authentication Certificates, DLP and ...
