Migrating 1240 APs from one controller to a new controller

Hi Guys,
I am installing a new 4404 controller and I want to simply move the APs that are associated with my current controller to the new controller once installed.
The plan is to change the DHCP server once my new WLC is ready and change the option 43 IP address from the old controller to the new controller. This sounds quite simple to me.
BUT,
I know that the LWAPP flash on the AP sometimes gets stuck, and all of the APs are consealed above the ceiling and would be a nighmare to pull down the ceiling and console into all of them.
Should the original plan of just changing the DHCP server option 41 to the new WLC IP address work OK, or do I run a big risk of having to get ceiling tiles down and all that jazz?
Please can anyone advise me?
Many thx indeed,
Ken

Hi Ken,
FIrst of all, if both controllers run the same code, there is no flash issue. Still, the APs tend to remember the previous controller they were connected to, so you might see APs taking a Looong time to join the new controller, but they should eventually join anyway.
A few other ways to do it:
- my favourite: add the new controller to the same mobility group as the first one and make them know each other (adding each controller IP and MAC to the other one). Then define this new controller as the primary controller on all APs, reboot them.
- Variation: if you use WCS, use a template to push the APs to the new controller.
- If you replace the controller, configure the new one with the same IP addresses as the former one (and of course remove the old one before plugging the new one).
- You can also put one of the APs in the same subnet as the new one, and use OTAP to have the others join it.
Keep in mind that option 43 is just one way, among others, for the AP to discover as many controllers as it possibly can before choosing which one is the best to join. Changing option 43 will not remove the info about the old controller from the AP memory, so it might be more efficient to push them to the new one more gently... but the option 43 technique should work anyway...

  • Best Practice for Migration of BO  from one server to another

    You need to copy your input and output file stores from the old server to the new server. By default these are located in the <Business Objects install path>\FileStore directory.
    Then you need to stop the CMS, Right click the CMS,Click the Configuration tab, and then click Specify.
    Choose Copy, then click OK.
    Choose the version information for the source CMS database.
    Select the database type for the source CMS database, and then specify
    its database information (including host name, user name, and password).
    Select the database type for the destination CMS database, and then
    specify its database information (including host name, user name, and
    password).
    When the CMS database has finished copying, click OK.
    Once this process has been completed start the CMS and click on update objects -> located on the top of the CCM.
    I'd advise taking full backups beforehand.

  • What is the best approach to migrate SharePoint farm from one data center to other datacenter

    We have two web front server and one application server and two instances for database server and we have to migrate complete farm from one data center to other data center with minimal downtime and end user impact.
    Please provide your best input on this.
    Thanks in advance.

    Create a new farm in the secondary Data Center at the same patch level with the desired configuration. Replicate the databases using the method of choice (Mirroring, AlwaysOn, etc.). Create a downtime window where you can then attach the databases to the
    new farm's Web Application(s)/Service Application(s).

    Hi,
    Remote Client Copy (SCC9)
    Remote client copy is performed in rare situation. When the client copy is done
    between two different SAP systems, the copy is called remote client copy.
    Before remote client copy is performed, a RFC connection must be set between those
    systems using SM59.
    1. Check RFC connection is working fine between two systems you want to perform
    remote client copy using SM59
    2. create client in the target system you want to copy the client
    3. login to target client using user SAP* and password PASS
    4. execute tcode SCC9 and select the RFC for the source system
    5. select the profile you want to copy like SAP_ALL
    6. select source client number you want to copy
    7. Select source client master data , mostly it is the same client number
    8. Now click on schedule as background job.
    9. Leave the background server field blank.
    10. Click schedule.
    11. Select Immediate from next screen.
    12. Save the screen.
    13. Client copy is scheduled now as a background job and client copy process started.
    14. The progress can be monitored using tcode SCC3
    Client Export/Import
    A client transport consists of two steps:
    First a client export extracts client data from the source client
    to files at the operating system level. Then the data is imported
    from the operating system files into the target client.
    To perform a client export, follow these steps:
    1. Log on to the source client. From the SAP initial screen,
    choose transaction SCC8 (Client Export). Select the data to
    be copied using a profile.
    2. Indicate the target system to which the client will be copied.
    The target system must be defined in TMS as part of the
    transport domain.
    3. Begin the client export. Because copying is a lengthy
    process, use scheduled background processing.
    Do not run any other client copy tool before the
    data export is finished.
    This export process will generate up to three data files at the
    operating system level:
    • RO< number >: this file contains cross-client data
    • RT< number >: this file contains client-specific data
    • RX< number >: this file contains SAPscript texts
    Depending on the type of data selected through the client
    transport profile, the client copy command files added to the
    buffer of the target system are as follows:
    • <S-SID>KO<number>: this file is for cross-client data
    • <S-SID>KT<number>: this file is for client-specific data
    • <S-SID>KX<number>: this file is SAPscript texts
    The client export change requests are not imported when an
    Import all takes place. Therefore, you must import these requests into the target client
    using TMS. Choose one of the transport requests of the client transport in the Transport
    Management System (TMS). The other transport requests belonging to this client
    transport are then automatically added in the correct order.
    After the import process has completed, post-import activities are required for object
    generation steps. After completing the import, log on to the target client. From the SAP
    systems initial screen, choose transaction SCC7

  • Import Wizard vs LCM for Migration of BO from one server to another

    Hi Experts,
    Can anyone highlight the differences between Import Wizard and LCM (in terms of migrating/deploying BO from one server to another)?
    We are currently using BO XI 3.0, which does not support LCM. I'd like to know if LCM has enough advantages to justify an upgrade to BO XI 3.1.
    Any advice is much appreciated.
    Linda

    Hi Tim,
    Thanks a lot for your reply. May I have a follow-up question?
    For my client, the following deployment activities are necessary:
    1) From Development server, to one Test server containing 2 separate sets of objects - one set for SIT, the other set for UAT.
    Object (Connections, Universes, Webi reports) names in Test server will be different from those in Development Server due to the existence of 2 sets of objects on the same server.
       a) For SIT: Universe A on Development server -> Universe SA on Test server
       b) For UAT: Universe A on development server -> Universe UA on Test server
    2) From Development server, to Training server.
       Same object names will be used in Training server.
       E.g. Universe A in Development server copied to Universe A in Training Server
    3) From Development server, to Production server
       Same object names used in Production server.
    From the above, there will be 4 rounds of deployment. Is Import Wizard sufficient? Or is LCM still the better option?
    Thanks in advance for your advice.

  • Since I migrated my files from one Mac to another and am now running Yosemite, Photoshop Elements 9 (adequate for what I do) is not showing the previous functionality on some of the tools. I have uninstalled/reinstalled twice to no avail.

    Since I migrated my files from one Mac to another and am now running Yosemite, Photoshop Elements 9 (adequate for what I do) is not showing the previous functionality on some of the tools. I have uninstalled/reinstalled twice to no avail.  Is there a fix? Also, when I tried to update, it comes up with this error.

    I have a similar problem. I found out that my macbook air created a new USER with my former's computer user name. You can check that by going into System Preferences -> User & Groups, and see if a "Other user" has been created. You have to login under this new USER to find your transferred contacts in the address book.
    My problem is that I do not know how to merge the 2 USER logins or transfer the data from the new USER created into the existing one.

  • Migrating KMS server from one computer to another

    Hi,
    I would like to know how to migrate the KMS from one server to another. Thanks in advance

    Steps to migrating the KMS:
    1. Uninstall the KMS host key first by running the following command:
    slmgr -upk
    2. Then, install the default kms key by running the following command:
    slmgr /ipk [KMS Client Setup Key]
    The default KMS client setup keys can be found here:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc303280.aspx
    3. Delete the record from the DNS:
    Open DNS console:
    Expand _tcp node under the domain.com. There will be a record _VLMCS. Delete this record.
    4. The KMS server is uninstalled.
    5. To install KMS on a new server, enter:
    cscript C:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs /ipk <KmsKey>
    then to activate the KMS host, enter:
    cscript C:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs /ato
    6. After activation is complete, restart the Software Licensing Service.
    7. Verify that the record is created for the new server in the DNS.
    To verify that the KMS host is configured correctly, you can check the KMS count to see if it is increasing. Run slmgr.vbs /dli on the KMS host to obtain the current KMS count. You can also check the Key Management Service log in the Applications and Services Logs folder for 12290 events, which records activation requests from KMS clients. Each event displays the name of the computer and the time-stamp of an individual activation request.

  • Problem while migrating the extensions from one instance to the other.

    Hi,
    We are using kintana workbench to migrate the objects from one instance to the other. But after migrating From Instance1 to Intance2 it ws fine. Working properly in Instance2. But when the same package is migrated to Instance3, all are migrated successfully and log files are showing proerly. But when i access the pages in Instance3, I am getting the errors on the page above like this:
    ViewObject attribute is null; ViewUsageName: (ScorecardSummaryVO1); RegionItem: (LastUpdateLogin)
    Can some let me know what could be the problem.
    Thanks.

    user555006,
    Error shows that LastUpdateLogin item on the page has no proper VO attribute attached. Hence it seems that the MDS data is not updated properly. Upload the page again and test.
