Configuration Archive file not readable

Hi SSHSSH,

 

 

A search for UCS on support.f5.com leads to this SOL:

 

 

SOL4423 - Overview of UCS archives

Basically, a UCS is a gzip compressed tar archive. So you can use a Zip utility to view the files.

i use WinZip or WinRar , it will not work with that ?

 

actually it is not readable after extraction

have you tried 7-Zip?

 

 

7-Zip

7zip works for me.

 

 

What I usually do (this can perhaps be optimized but still :P) is to add .gzip to the filename then extract the file. Then add .tar to the extracted file and extract once more and there you will have the directories and files which the archive contains.

 

 

You might end up with 30-40 or so warnings/errors if you do this on a windowsbox but just ignore those.
