Release Note

Packaging Changes

avif5converter and avinetscalerconverter have been merged into a new avimigrationtools package. All the new conversion tools will be part of the avimigrationtools package. There are no changes to the avisdk packaging.

Intallation of Avi Migration Tools
pip install avimigrationtools avisdk

New Features

Migrate a subset of Virtual Service and all dependent profiles

--vs_filter VS_FILTER comma separated names of virtualservices
The above option will only migrate the list of comma separated virtualservices. This is useful when migrating partial list of applications from an F5/Netscaler to Avi.

Per-virtual service list of all skipped settings

Per-virtual service list of all skipped settings that were skipped in the virtualservice and all referenced objects. This is complete picture of any settings that were not successfully migrated.

###Conversion status enhancements
Conversion status xls includes pivot table of all the partial, skipped and successful settings. This provides easy way to know whether all settings related to an application were successfully migrated.

Option to merge profiles like SSK across multiple virtual services or keep a copy per virtual service.

Option to ignore settings during conversion

--ignore_config IGNORE_CONFIG config json to skip the config in conversion
Any F5 or Netscaler settings matching this name would be skipped during conversion. This is useful to ignore certain settings that are not applicable in cloud based deployments.
