Cisco APIC Cluster Migration Guide

This document provides essential guidance for IT professionals on migrating Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC) servers from older models (M1/M2/M3/L1/L2/L3) to the newer M4/L4 generation. Specifically designed for Release 5.3(1), this guide details the procedures required for a seamless in-service replacement without impacting network operations.

Key aspects covered include:

Understanding software release requirements and hardware compatibility.
Step-by-step instructions for replacing in-service APIC servers.
Procedures for decommissioning older servers and commissioning new ones.
Guidelines and limitations to ensure a successful migration.
Troubleshooting common issues that may arise during the process.

This guide is crucial for maintaining an up-to-date and supported Cisco APIC infrastructure. For more information on End-of-Life notices for older models, refer to Cisco's EoL/EoS notices. For hardware specifications, consult the APIC datasheet.

Models: M1, M2, M3, L1, L2, M4, L4, M1 Configure to Order Server Chassis, M1, Configure to Order Server Chassis, Order Server Chassis, Server Chassis, Chassis
