QRadar SIEM hardware migration scenarios

If your hardware reaches its end of life, you need to be able to process more events of flows, or you are consolidating existing hardware, plan to migrate data from older IBM QRadar SIEM appliances to new QRadar appliances. You can either migrate data from an older IBM QRadar managed host (16xx, 17xx, or 18xx) appliance to newer hardware, or an older IBM QRadar Console to a new console that uses either the same or a different IP address. These migration scenarios apply to supported hardware. Cloning or migrating VM snapshots is not supported. You have several options when you migrate.
