Error loading scf file

When loading a scf file, we get the error

 

"Conflicting configuration. Management-ip can't be create manually while DHCP is enabled. Do 'tmsh modify sys global-settings mgmt-dhcp disabled' before manually changing the management-ip."

 

The strange thing is that our management IP is not set to "Automatic (DHCP)." In the configuration utility, under System > Platform > Configuration > Management Port Configuration, it is set to Manual.

 

We decided to run the command mentioned above anyway, and reload the scf, but we still run into the same error. Is there a way to by pass this error or check?

 

Any help appreciated, thanks!

    For anyone else with this problem, the fix for me was to edit the scf config file and add the text "mgmt-dhcp disabled" under the "sys global-settings" tag.

    Basically the program has two window panes, load one SCF file on one side and the other SCF file on the other. It will tell you the differences and you can click on items to copy it over to whichever SCF file.

    I suppose it's worth a try. I'm not familiar with BeyondCompare. How exactly did you use it to merge the configuration files?

    I didn't have the mgmt ip issue, but did run into other errors when taking an scf file from one LTM and loading it onto another (going from virtualized LTM to physical LTM). What I ended up doing was taking the scf from the virtual (had all the configurations - nodes, pools, monitors, vservers, etc.) and taking the scf from the physical (with a baseline config - mgmt ip, vlans, self IPs, etc.) and loading into the application BeyondCompare. From there I took the items I wanted and copied over to the physical scf and was able to load without errors. Doesn't necessarily solve your problem unfortunately but you could give that a shot and see if it helps.
