Hi,

 

You try to do something that is not supported. Your best chance is to generate an SCF file :

 

https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/tmos-concepts-11-3-0/tmos_single_config_file.html?sr=54730891

 

You then need to modify the content according to the new appliance and finally import the SCF file to your new system. It's easy when you are using only LTM, but can be very hard to do when you are using several other modules.

Hi, The SCF file doesn't contains private keys and certificates. But, when you launch an SCF backup, you retrieve the scf file and a gzip file that contains keys and certificates.
