Importing a 1600 archive into a VE edition!!!

Hi,

 

I want to know how to extract all the files of a .ucs archive and import that into a LTM VE edition manually. I searched for documentation on manually importing a configuration (file by file) but i did not find anything

 

The reason i want to import file by file is that my archive configuration contains a Trunk that is not compatible (LACP) with the VE edition. I have a earlier post to try and configure the trunk and if it works, this post will not be relevant but i am in a hurry so i am trying both avenues at the same time.

 

If file by file importing is possible (need to know each file to import) then i will edit the .conf file that contains the Trunk and eliminate it

 

An alternative would be to be able to export the files in the UCS (i can already do that with Winrar), modify them and then recreate the UCS file (that part i need help with)

  • normally i just import ucs with no-license and no-platform-check options (e.g. tmsh load sys ucs ... no-license no-platform-check). then modify /config/bigip_base.conf and/or /config/bigip.conf directly and re-load configuration (e.g. tmsh load sys config).
  • what content you usually looking to modify in /config/bigip_base.conf and/or /config/bigip.conf ?
  • what content you usually looking to modify in /config/bigip_base.conf and/or /config/bigip.conf ?whatever error is reported when loading config (i.e. tmsh load sys config).
  • Thank you Nitass,

     

     

    I did like you said, edit the bigip_base.conf file. My problem was with a trunk that had LACP enabled and 2 interfaces on it on the physical Big-IP. The LACP was not permitted in VE so i had to remove the trunk and everything relating to it...Then load sys config worked perfectly
