AltostratusMigrating from Physical to Virtual f5
We are running a physical f5 (BIG-IP 11.3) and wondering if there is a way to restore the ucs (from the physical setup) onto a virtual f5? (Note: Our physical f5 is in appliance mode)
We originally ran into a platform issue which we resolved with SOL13136 http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/13000/100/sol13136.html
Now we don't see that error, but it still fails.
If any additional information is needed. Please ask!

Damned, I did not see you were in appliance mode. I searched and I did not see any way to download the configuration in Appliance mode.
Perhaps someone else has an idea ???
jsimm06_139569The root is actually disabled with appliance mode. Do you happen to know a work around with using appliance mode?

Yeah, you can use sftp or scp with root account. Default passwd is "default".
SCF file should be in /config folder.
Take care.

Thanks, we're going to try it.
However, I think we might run into problems getting the scf off of the f5. Have you worked with appliance mode? Do you know the best way to get an file off of the f5?

UCS can not be pushed from hardware to VE.
When I have to push a configuration from one system to another one, I use SCF files http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/13000/400/sol13408.html
Hope this help :-)
