Migration assistance needed for HA 2 node Cluster - 5100s to 9100s

[Joe_Kanaszka]

Hey everyone.

The last time I did a migration was back in 2017, so I'm a bit rusty..  LOL

We have a small environment:

• Running R81.20 Take 53 (patched for CVE-2024-24919).
• (2) 5100 Security Gateway appliances in a (2) node HA Cluster.
• Management server is a VM on VMware
• Logging/Smart Event server is on a Smart-1 600-S appliance.
• I would like to migrate my 5100 Security Gateway appliances to the new 9100s 
• Ideally I'd like to upgrade my environment to the latest JHF of R81.20 

Can someone point me to a good SK  or maybe if they have the time, explain the steps that I'll need to take?

Thank you!

Hey Joe, how goes it man? 🙂

Here is what I always follow with clients when it comes to simply replacing the hardware and never had an issue.
