How to replace a custer of two 5900 with a cluster of two Spark 1900

[jo-ke]

I am looking for a way to replace an existing cluster of two 5900s with a cluster of two Spark 1900s. The existing cluster and management server are running on R81.20. Does anyone have any advice on the best way to proceed?

If the 1900s will be managed by the same management, you can reuse the existing policy.
Simply create the necessary gateway/cluster objects (SMB gateways have different gateway object types) and push policy.
The actual swapping of the equipment will require an outage.

This plus 5900 uses GAIA and Spark uses GAIA embedded. The CLI commands are different. 

For example if you want to add SYSLOG to GAIA it is like this:

add syslog log-remote-address <IPv4 Address> level <Severity>

And for GAIA embedded it loosk like:

add syslog-server ipv4-address <ipv4-address> [ port <port> ] [ enabled <enabled> ] name <name> [ sent-logs <sent-logs> ]
