Abstract
Methods and systems are described for performing a migration from source networking devices to replacement networking devices. A simulation may be performed of the migration from the source devices to the replacement devices. The simulation may be used to determine whether to proceed with the migration. A technician may be instructed to perform the migration. A verification may be performed to determine whether the migration was successful. The source devices may be decommissioned.
Claims14
A computer-implemented method for execution by one or more computing devices, the method comprising:
- receiving, a request to perform a migration from one or more first networking devices to one or more second networking devices;
- performing a simulation of the migration from the one or more first networking devices to the one or more second networking devices, the performing of the simulation comprising determining whether the one or more second networking devices can provide services previously provided by the one or more first networking devices;
- after determining that the one or more second networking devices can provide services previously provided by the one or more first networking devices, performing the migration from the one or more first networking devices to the one or more second networking devices, the performing of the migration comprising causing functions previously performed by the one or more first networking devices to now be performed by the one after or more second networking devices;
- after one or more cables attached to the one or more first networking devices have been disconnected from the one or more first networking devices and have been attached to the one or more second networking devices, determining that one or more servers are accessible via the one or more second networking devices;
- and
- after determining that the one or more servers are accessible via the one or more second networking devices, updating one or more databases to refer to the one or more second networking devices.
3 more elements
A system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- memory comprising executable instructions, which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform:
- receiving, a request to perform a migration from one or more first networking devices to one or more second networking devices;
- performing a simulation of the migration from the one or more first networking devices to the one or more second networking devices, the performing of the simulation comprising determining whether the one or more second networking devices can provide services previously provided by the one or more first networking devices;
- after determining that the one or more second networking devices can provide services previously provided by the one or more first networking devices, performing the migration from the one or more first networking devices to the one or more second networking devices, the performing of the migration comprising causing functions previously performed by the one or more first networking devices to now be performed by the one after or more second networking devices;
- after one or more cables attached to the one or more first networking devices have been disconnected from the one or more first networking devices and have been attached to the one or more second networking devices, determining that one or more servers are accessible via the one or more second networking devices;
- and
- after determining that the one or more servers are accessible via the one or more second networking devices, updating one or more databases to refer to the one or more second networking devices.
