Migration vWLC from VMware to HyperV

[ITCPOLAND]

Hello

Is it possible to migrate vWLC from VMware ESX to HyperV? vWLC version 8.0.140.0.

Regards.

[Ric Beeching]

Cisco only support install on ESX or KVM I'm afraid!

Why in first answer on below page there is an information about support HyperV:

?

Ah that's new to me, 20th April so fairly recent... I would assume that a migration is not possible so your best bet would be to backup the config from your current vWLC by uploading the config to a TFTP/FTP server then installing a fresh version on hyper-v and downloading the config to it.

Thank you Ric for response

ITCPOLAND, You managed to run virtual WLC (Release 8.4.100.0 ) in Hyper-v? As far as I understand this image MFG_CTVM_SMALL_8.4.100.0.iso can work in Hyper-V. Did you run it?

I'm very interested in this myself. I got 8.4.100.0 installed to Hyper-V but it doesn't seem to see the vlan tagged traffic. You need to do some goofy things to get the Hyper-V vSwitch to pass VLANs through to a VM, but I tried that and it didn't seem to make a difference.

I love how it states in the FAQ that Hyper-V is supported yet we don't have the deployment documentation for Hyper-V yet. Please give us some good documentation Cisco, thanks!!

bhechinger, what image did you use? This one MFG_CTVM_SMALL_8.4.100.0 ?

That's it http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/technotes/8-4/b_Cisco_vWLC_on_Microsoft_Hyper-V_Deployment_Guide.html

I saw that Cisco added new IOS version with hyper-V support: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/release/notes/crn84.html#hyperv-vwlc

Is there anyone who tested it?

How to install it? Which hyper-V machine generation should be selected?

Hi,

Did you need to rehost licences or could you push them to the new install under Hyper-V without any problems ?

Thanks,
