Hi,

We a flood in the server room, and are replacing all of the equipment. The existing IPO is still functioning and was not damaged as far as I can tell, but we are replacing it anyway. Can anyone advise were I can find the procedure for migrating? I have another IPO, but have not turned it on yet, so I don't know the firmware installed. The current firmware is 11.0. Also, what would I have to do to migrate licensing? It's currently using PLDS. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello, Is the replacement IPO500V2 CU that you have New and never powered up?
 
Licensing is stored on the SD card so i assume you can move the card to the new system.
if you know the exact version of your damaged system you can download the software for this version prepare the new SD card without licensing
install it on the new chassis , leave it take the desired software and when finish turn off and install the old SD card.
this will give you all licensing and programming too.
If i am wrong anybody here can correct me.

good luck

Nikos I think you're right, although I'd add that if it's a fresh IPO out of the box, the first time you turn it one it takes the sw level of the SD that's in it. So I think needing to prep the new chassis with a fresh SD is not necessary. I'll finish the way Nikos did, please if any of this is wrong someone correct me.
