Migrating Config from TMOS 10.2.4 to 11.4, using SCF migration

Hi all,

 

So we have planned to upgrade/migrate our 6400 running 10.2.4 to some 5050s running 11.4.

 

as a first step we have taken a .scf file from the 6400 and tried to load it into a lab VE, just to see if any errors come up with the configuration itself.

 

the .scf file has been successfully placed in /var/local/scf

 

however when i try the command:

 

load /sys config file /var/local/scf/filename.scf i get correct prompt and when i click y

 

the load process starts but then in halts @ line one giving me the below error:

 

loading configuration... /var/local/scf/filename.scf Syntax error: (/var/local/scf/filename.scf @ line: 1) "provision" unexpected argument

 

now I have done a few of these upgrades before and never seen this. however this is the first time that I am using this method between a major release.

 

any advice you can provide here would be greatly appreciated.

 

cheers
