Migrating to a new chassis

To migrate to a new chassis:

  1. Update the firmware on the new chassis and components to the same version as on the existing chassis/components.

  2. Configure the new CMM, SCM and ESM to be identical to the existing system. This information is stored on the midplane, and cannot be exported or imported automatically.

  3. If the original system had shared LUN activated:

    1. Visit Intel® License Key Activation and select “Request to Transfer License Key”. The midplane serial numbers from the existing and the new chassis are required to transfer the license key.

    2. Activate the shared LUN on the new system.

  4. Prepare the drives on the existing system for transport. This writes configuration data, including compute modules assignment, to the drives.

  5. Ensure both chassis are powered off

  6. Moves the drives to the new chassis in the same order, and with the same slot numbers they had on the existing system.
