How to copy config or upgrade procedure

There isn't a supported method for automatically migrating the configuration from one platform or version to a differing platform or version. Which version is the 5100 running? How many load balancing objects do you have in the configuration? If it's a small configuration, you might consider just doing it by hand. Else, if it's a large configuration, if possible, you should upgrade the 5100 to the same version the 6900 is running, manually configure the 6900's base network and then copy the 5100's bigip.conf to the 6900 and load the config there. The bigip.conf doesn't have the full configuration, but does get the shared, load balancing config. Then check any errors in the 'b load' output and manually tweak the bigip.conf as needed.
