That's referred to as a standalone pair, or VRRP pair. You utilize database sync to copy configuration from one controller to the other with VRRP providing failover.
You'll want to stand up the 9240 pair separately, copy over the relevant configuration from the existing setup, validate that all networks are operating as expected, and then migrate the APs over to the new controller pair. The cleanest way to move the APs over is to re-provision them with a static target pointing at the destination while setting the group to "default", then once the APs have moved and you've set the discovery method (DHCP or DNS) to point at the new target, then you re-provision the APs again into their proper AP groups and reset to dynamic discovery once again.
Take this as an opportunity to clean out any legacy or unused configuration in the process.

Thank you for the answer
You've just pointed out what makes me confused.
New terminology states that Conductor is the new term for Master:
OK but I don't see any reference of Conductor on the management of the existing 7030 cluster. On the other hand, I manage others deployments where mobility controllers are bound to a centralized Mobility Conductor tool.
It seems that same Conductor term is used for different sense.
On existing 7030, I don't use Mobility Conductor to manage this pair of mobility gateway. It is set as a Mobility Controller (Conductor Redundancy + DB Sync) which is not the same if I'm correct.

If you're running a cluster then the important bits of the configuration should already be applied at a group level on the Mobility Conductor, no need to restore anything. You'll want to create a new cluster using the 9240, make sure all of the pieces are present, then migrate the APs over.

Hello
I'm new in Aruba community and I don't know a lot of these products.
I have to migrate temporarly a cluster of 7030 controller to a cluster of 9240.
It's a temporarly situation to deal with a move of geographical location.
If setting the same OS (8.10.0.11 for now), is there a way to restore a backup from each node ? I guess I have to adapt interface references if it changes from 7030 to 9240.
After initial setup and restore, I will upgrade to the latest 8.10.0.x version.
Any advices ?
Regards
