Is there any way to take backup just for the Virtual servers because we are trying to restore from 1600 series to 5050 series
Is there any way to take backup just for the Virtual servers because we are trying to restore from 1600 series to 5050 series which are different hardware platforms
As per the below document, https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/13000/100/sol13132.htmlprebackup
it might fail if we took backup and tried to restore from 1600 to 5050 series .

You can try creating scf file and restoring it in new box.
You could probably well if both run on same versions
- Backup config/bigip.conf file from 1600 box.
- Create base configuration on the 5050 box.
- Copy config/bigip.conf from 1600 box to config folder in 5050 box (I would backup the 5050 box before copying)
-
load verify the config: tmsh load sys config verify
-
If found errors correct the error and repeat step 4.
-
If no errors, load the config: tmsh load sys config

Hi,
use the following command to list virtual server configuration:
tmsh list ltm virtual one-linecopy the output use and the following command to import it on the new hardware:
tmsh load sys config merge from-terminalpaste followed by CTRL-D
you can do the same with pools (and every part of configuration):
tmsh list ltm pool one-line - Brad_Parker

If you are just wanting to restore your 1600 to a new 5050 platform you can restore the whole config minus the license using
.tmsh load ucs ucsfilename no-license no-platform-check
