F5 rSeries deployment and migration
- Aug 29, 2025
I used the UCS platform-migrate approach to migrate vCMP guest to rSeries Tenant and it worked perfectly fine as I have all the config. Below is the link.
Direct UCS import is not supported and may result in errors or an unusable configuration. As Jeff_Granieri mentioned, you can use Jouneys as described.
I encountered various issues during the Virprions to rSeries migration. I adjusted my plan and followed the steps below. And you can use as your plan B
- Create and deploy a BIG-IP tenant (matching the required version) on the rSeries
- Assign the necessary VLANs and interfaces to the tenant from the F5OS-A layer.
- Generate an SCF file :
tmsh save /sys config file <filename>.scf - Before loading, review and edit the SCF file meaning Remove any vCMP-specific configuration blocks.
- Transfer the SCF file to the new rSeries tenant and run :
tmsh load /sys config file <filename>.scf merge
Hi VishnuGatla
Can you elaborate or provide an example of "Remove any vCMP-specific configuration blocks." I know if we were talking about appliance to F5OS tenant, then we would have to remove interfaces, trunks, LACP, but a vGuest shouldn't have any of these elements. Curious about what you encountered.
Thanks,
