Export Import F5 Config 10.2.4 to 12.1.2

First try this new option:

You could also try to upgrade the software first to v11, then try to load the ucs after with the platform-migrate option.

 

The UCS option doesnt seem to work. I am getting too many load errors and also worried it may copy more things than I really need.

I am trying to merge a simple class file but I am getting an error.

The scf file looks like below:

class web_apps
 {
      "/app1"
   }
}

When I try to load I get error:

root@(f5*****)(cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) load /sys config file /var/local/scf/f5-datagroup merge
Loading configuration...
  /var/local/scf/f5-datagroup
Syntax Error:(/var/local/scf/f5-datagroup at line: 1) "class" unexpected argument

Do I have to edit the file somehow so it can understand the arguments?

That is because the HTTP Class profile has been replaced by the Local Traffic Policies feature. See K14409: The HTTP Class profile is no longer available in BIG-IP 11.4.0 and later.

 

You need to edit the configuration file "bigip.conf" to remove the class profiles and any references to them and then try reloading the conf.
