Extreme Integrated Application Hosting Virtual Service Upgrade Considerations

Virtual Service and vport Name Length Change

In VOSS 8.0.5, the length of the virtual service name and vport name changed to 80 and 32 characters respectively. If, in a release prior to 8.0.5, you configured a name with length that exceeds the new value, you must change the name before you upgrade to 8.0.5 or later.

If you do not change the name prior to upgrade, the virtual service configuration will not pass a consistency check in VOSS 8.0.5 and later, and the configuration will not be loaded. You will need to modify your configuration to comply with the new name lengths and reload it for the virtual service to load.
