Is it possible to load UCS from a BIGIP5000 platform to a vCMP guest with same version?

HI Devcentral Peeps,

 

Is it possible to load UCS from a BIGIP5000 platform to a vCMP guest with same version?

 

This is what i planned to do, create the VLANs on host level, create the vcmp guest with the same hostname and restore the UCS from bigip appliance going to that vCMP guest.

 

Thanks!

    Hi,

    what is the "same version"?

    Which module do you want to restore?

    To restore a backup on another platform, the UCS load must be done with tmsh.

    In version 12.1.x, there is an option with 

    platform-migrate
    to migrate without platform specific configuration

    https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K82540512

    this command is only supported with LTM and DNS.

    the main goal of this command is to import LB configuration and not VLAN and self IP. VLAN must not be imported in VCMP because VLAN configuration is done on the VCMP host and enabled en guests.
