Hi skunk,

BIG-IP 2000:

1. Backup UCS

save /sys ucs /var/local/ucs/MyUCS.ucs

2. Download UCS

3. Look f5mku

f5mku -K

BIG-IP VM:

1. Upload MyUCS file to /var/local/ucs folder

If the interface numbering of the devices is the same, skip to step 8.

2. Create temp folder in /var/local/ucs

cd /var/local/ucs
mkdir abc
cd abc

3. Unzip UCS

tar -xzf /var/local/ucs/MyUCS.ucs

4. Open bigip_base.conf folder

nano config/bigip_base.conf
# or
vi config/bigip_base.conf

5. Change all interface names in bigip_base.conf

1.1 > 1.0
1.2 > 2.0
1.3 > 3.0
...

6. Save bigip_base.conf

7. Zip files

tar -czf /var/local/ucs/newMyUCS.ucs *

8. Enter Bıg-IP 2000's f5mku value

f5mku -r <big-ip2000 f5mku value>

9. Restore UCS

tmsh
load sys ucs newMyUCS.ucs no-license no-platform-check
