How do I correctly copy config from one F5 to another?

Question

I am trying to pass a config from one F5 to another.  I have saved an scf file and scp'd it to the new F5. I have made sure to edit the file that it has the new correct hostname and management IP. I then go into tmsh and issue the "load /sys config file f5newconfig" command.  It starts loading the new config but towards the end I get the error, "01070712:3: Failed: name (/Common/dtca-bundle.crt) No copy in trash-bin                             to restore from. Unexpected Error: Loading configuration process failed." I am not an F5 expert and have very little experience working with them.  Please help me correct my process, error, and or tell me how I can pass the config from one F5 to another correctly.&nbsp;

Aaron, did you follow this solution Overview of Single Configuration File? If so did you transfer the .tar file across?&nbsp;
Another option is to grab a UCS archive file from the old box and use the "platform-migrate" switch. See Overview of the UCS archive file&nbsp;
See if that helps&nbsp;
