XI50 to XI50 Data Power Migration

Here are steps: 
1 Check and upgrade the firmware version and level of DataPower XI50 to that of the firm-ware version and level of the DataPower XI52. 
2 Secure backup XI50 
4 Secure backup XI52; this might be useful in case if you need to rollback to original con-figurations. Also export configurations from XI52; this would be used later for referring for resetting various configurations. 
5 Validate and then restore DataPower XI52 from the secure backup files from the Data-Power XI50 
6 Access DataPower XI52 via remote console and update 
a. IP interface to have its own IPs. The Ethernet Interface names are different on XI52 appliances; need to reconfigure the eth settings 
b. host alias 
c. system info 
d. ip routing 

7 Test restored Datapower XI52 
a. That the DataPower is accessible using its own IPs. Test login through WebGUI and CLI. 
b. Compare objects on the DataPower XI52 against the objects on the DataPower XI50 that they are up and running.
