How to move vWlc from VM to another

[KM2018]

Hi,

I am new to cisco vWlc!!

My query is how to move the vWLC running in one VM ( ESXI ) to another VM ( ESXI ) without bringing the controller down or affecting the wireless connectivity in the floor.

this question has little to do with vWLC, but mostly with VMWare

if your infrastructure is prepared for "live migration" between the two VMWare hosts, then you are set.

if not than you can only make a snapshot of the vWLC, copy to the second VM host

then quickly shutdown one and bring up the other

but maybe you can use the scenario to

- configure the two vWLC's in a HA-pair

- bring down the primary so the failover wil take over the access points and the clients

- (and later promote the new active controller as primary and remove the old).

Thanks for the reply ... :-)

Previously we did try HA pair method but somehow out of 12 AP , 4 did not get paired with the secondary vWLC.

This time will try the snapshot method in VM host.
