LTM Volume Formatted

Hello All - what's the best way to recover a LTM 3600 after an accidental format of the volume ? The command issued was meant to format the volume HD1.2, but HD1.1 got formatted accidentally.

Any advice is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

The 'bigpipe merge' command will also work really well for merging in a bigip.conf. Just another option..

That looks handy, but the most common thing I need to do is grab a bigip.conf or bigip.license from an inactive slot and use it on the current slot. cpcfg looks like it does the opposite and loads the full config via a UCS.

I haven't tried it, but the cpcfg help text looks like it can handle this situation too.
