Big-IP Loading Old Config after Upgrade

Hello,

 

We did a minor hotfix upgrade (12.1.2 HF2) and did not click "Install Configuration" so now the F5s have loaded a much older version of their configuration. We didnt click install configuration because we needed to boot into another partition in order to upgrade the active one and thought it would install the config from the other partition.

 

How can I restore this most recent config?

    Either

     

    1. Manually mount the filesystems from the old slot and copy the ucb, or scf, then install it
    2. If you didn't create a backup, then reboot back to the old slot, and then from the OLD slot, use the 'Activate Slot' for the NEW slot, AND specify copy config
