PAN-OS 7.1.X to 10.1.X
PAN-OS 7.1.X to 10.1.X
Good evening colleagues, colleagues and friends:
I have a new question, it is related to a migration issue.
I need to migrate HA from 7.1.X Platform 5060 to Platform PA-5250 ( HA ) version 10.1.X.
I have not had to migrate from a version so low, 7.1.X I think, as always, extract the config file from the PA-5060 version 7.1.X and load it on the new hardware with version 10.1.X.
I have had to do this similar with version 8.0 to 9.1 without problems, from 9.0 to 10.0 without problems, 8.0 to 10.0 without problems. When loading the config files in some cases I have had to do some minor debugging but nothing serious or very complex. Based on your great experience, are there any details, warnings or special care that I should have and consider when it comes to version 7.1.X to version 10.1? Do you have any recommendation, independent of the traditional, let's say the correct mapping of interfaces, zones, etc, in relation to this migration of the config from 7.1.X to new hardware with version 10.1.X? I will have a possible "surprise" thinking of a config from such a minor version.
Thank you very much for your great help and support.
Best regards
Thank you Reaper for your support and quick response.
-I was thinking that maybe I can also take the 7.1.x config and upload it to a firewall with 9.1.x, since as you say there are some changes until version 10.1, but I think that with 9.1.x it can be less problematic and After loading and validating the config, update from 9.1 to 10.0 and then 10.1.x.
-We could also use Expedition to load the 7.1.x config, work on it and adjust it from there a bit, comparing with what we see configured in the current 7.1.x to give meaning and consistency to the configuration and then do an export and have a somewhat more standard configuration file, so to speak.
Thank you very much for your time, support and help.
