BigIP 3400 booting problem

Hi all,

 

we are seeing on the console of 3400 "Kernel Panic: Fatal Exception" and are already in the process of getting RMA from F5 but my problem is that I don't have a backup configs handy. Does anyone know how to restore configuration from this unit since I am unable to get to GUI?

    I don't think there is a way to restore the configuration since system is down. That's why backup is so important that we need to save the configuration timely incase this kind of scenario. You could just setup the basic network configuration and copy the shared configuration from peer if it's HA pair.
