Assumptions

• The FGCP cluster and the SLBC workers must be running the same firmware version. If required, you can upgrade the FGCP cluster or SLBC worker firmware before or after the conversion.
• This example assumes that VDOMs are enabled on the FGCP cluster. The FGCP cluster must have VDOMs enabled for this conversion to work because SLBC cluster workers have VDOMs enabled. You can transfer the configuration from one VDOM to another but you can't transfer the configuration of an FGCP cluster without VDOMs enabled to a VDOM in an SLBC cluster worker. (If your FGCP cluster does not have multiple VDOMs enabled you could enable VDOMs on the FGCP cluster and add all configuration elements to the root VDOM but this would essentially mean re-configuring the FGCP cluster in which case it would make more sense to re-configure the SLBC workers.)
• Both clusters are operating, once the SLBC workers are configured you can divert traffic to the SLBC cluster and then take the FGCP cluster out of service.
• The FGCP cluster units do not have to be the same model as the SLBC cluster workers.
• The SLBC workers have been registered and licensed.
