NDB Migration Overview
Starting with Cisco Nexus Data Broker, release 3.7, you can now migrate centralized NDB OpenFlow implementation to NXAPI implementation using the NDB migration tool. NDB migration occurs on the same virtual machine where the existing OpenFlow instance exists. The NDB migration process involves:
-
Upgrading to NDB version 3.6 or later
-
Exporting the device configuration in NDB 3.6
-
NDB configuration cleanup
-
Device conversion from OpenFlow to NXAPI by removing OpenFlow virtual service instances.
-
Importing the NXAPI device configuration in NDB 3.6
NDB migration tool provides the following features:
-
