This chapter describes how to move or migrate a virtual service blade (VSB) to from the Cisco Nexus 1010 series to the Cisco Nexus 1110 Series and includes the following sections:
After you have installed the Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform, you can move, or migrate your VSBs from the Cisco Nexus 1010 series to the Cisco Nexus 1110 Series. For information on VSB, see the Information about Virtual Service Blades section.
The Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform has the following guidelines and limitations for migrating a VSB from Cisco Nexus 1010 series to the Cisco Nexus 1110 Series:
Step 1 Verify that the Cisco Nexus 1010 series has the VSBs configured that need to be migrated to the Cisco Nexus 1110 Series.
Step 2 Set up the Cisco Nexus 1110 Series in a redundant HA pair. See the Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform Software Installation and Upgrade Guide .
Step 3 Migrate the HA VSBs such as the VSM and Cisco VSG to Cisco Nexus 1110 Series. See Migrating HA VSB to Cisco Nexus 1110 Series.
Step 4 Migrate the non HA VSBs such as the NAM to Cisco Nexus 1110 Series. See Migrating a Non HA VSB to the Cisco Nexus 1110 Series.
Before beginning this procedure, you must know or do the following:
Note If you use a value that results in a mismatch with the Cisco Nexus 1110 Series, the synchronization between the Cisco Nexus 1110 Series and the Cisco Nexus 1010 series overwrites your configuration on the Cisco Nexus 1010 series.
Step 1 From the CLI of the primary VSB on Cisco Nexus 1010, initiate a manual switchover, and then shut down the primary VSB.
login virtual-service-blade name primary
After logging into the VSB, use the system switchover command to initiate a manual switchover.
When the switchover completes and the CLI returns to the Cisco Nexus 1010 , use the shut primary command to shut the primary VSB.
Step 2 From the CLI of the active Cisco Nexus 1110 Series, use the following commands to create a primary virtual service for the VSB that you want to migrate. Use the same information that you used to create the VSB on Cisco Nexus 1010.
Step 3 Verify that the configuration is complete.
After you create the virtual service on the primary Cisco Nexus 1110 Series, an HA pair forms between the secondary VSB on the Cisco Nexus 1010 series and the primary virtual service on the Cisco Nexus 1110 Series.
Step 4 From the CLI of the primary VSB on the Cisco Nexus 1110 Series, use the following command to verify the redundancy status of the VSBs.
If the output indicates the following, then you can proceed with a system switchover.
Redundancy mode
---------------
administrative: HA
operational: HA
Step 5 From the CLI of the secondary VSB on the Cisco Nexus 1010, initiate a manual switchover to the standby virtual service on the Cisco Nexus 1110 Series.
After logging into the VSB, use the system switchover command to initiate a manual switchover.
When the switchover completes and the CLI returns to the Cisco Nexus 1010 , use the shut secondary command to shut the secondary VSB.
Before continuing with the next step, wait until the switchover completes and the standby supervisor becomes active. The following occurs when the switchover is complete:
Step 6 From the CLI of the active Cisco Nexus 1110 Series, use the following commands to create a new secondary virtual service. Use the same information that you used to create the primary virtual service.
After you enter these commands, the Cisco Nexus 1110 Series prompts you for additional information. After you create the secondary virtual service on the active Cisco Nexus 1110 Series, an HA pair is formed between the primary virtual service and the secondary virtual service on the Cisco Nexus 1110 Series.
Step 7 Verify that the configuration is complete.
The VSB is migrated from the Cisco Nexus 1010 series to the Cisco Nexus 1110 Series
Step 1 From the CLI of Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform, use the following commands to power off the non HA VSB on the Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform.
Step 2 Export the non-HA VSB to the Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform. See the Creating a VSB Backup File section.
Step 3 Copy a VSB configuration file to external storage location. See the Copying the VSB Backup File to an External Storage Location section.
Step 4 Import the non-HA VSB to the Cisco Nexus 1110 Series. See the Importing a VSB Backup File section.
Step 5 From the CLI of the Cisco Nexus 1110 Series, to power on the imported non-HA VSB on Cisco Nexus 1110 Series.
You can export an OVA from ESX and import it into the Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform product family as a VSB. You must involves run the migration tool script on the OVA, and then take the generated tar file and use it for importing into the Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform product family.
Before beginning this procedure, you must know or do the following:
Step 1 Export the VSB to ESX and then copy the exported OVA into the esx_migration_tool/ directory.
Step 2 Run the migration tool script on the OVA.
If the version number of the VSB is supported by the migration tool, enter the following command to run the migration script.
./migration.sh <OVA file name > <vsb_type ><cookie > <ha-role > <vmware-vdiskmanager_location> [-v vsb_version]
If the version number of the VSB is not supported by the migration tool, use the following command to run the migration script.
./migration.sh <OVA file name > <vsb_type> <cookie> <ha-role> <vmware-vdiskmanager_location> [-f vbtype_xml_file_path]
Step 3 After the script executes, locate the split tar files in the esx_migration_tool/ directory.
Step 4 Import the VSB to the Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform using the tar file. See the Importing a VSB Backup File section.
Step 5 Configure the interface VLAN values and power on the VSB.
To verify the migration, use the following commands:
