Migrating older F5 BIG-IP has 3 partitions & Route Domains (RD) to new F5 BIG-IP with 2 partion & RD
Hi mmsuwaid ,
I have never recommend to edit the system files or configsync-2.0-1-Linux-3.10.0862.14.4.7..8664.im
I only ask for checking/viewing /editing desired partiton files bigip.conf and bigip_base.conf
Make sure that you're editing the partition where the Routing Domain is configured.
Can you list the content of this folder /config/partitions/Part-2 using WINSCP and send me the screenshot and show the bigip.conf and bigip_base.conf file contents in text mode there , send those files text copy.
Or if no other option works for you and you want to delete as a last option, only when you have expertise removing/editing the desired partiton files residing in /config/partitions/Part-2/bigip*.conf ,
else do not use this option of deleting the files
/config/partitions/Part-2/bigip.conf
/config/partitions/Part-2/bigip_base.conf
Do not edit any other files.
Beginning in BIG-IP 11.0.0, the BIG-IP configuration files may reside in multiple locations. BIG-IP configurations for the Common partition continue to exist in the BIG-IP configuration files that reside in the /config directory. If there are BIG-IP configurations for a partition other than the Common partition, the configurations exist in configuration files located in the /config/partitions/<partition name>/ directory.
For example, if there is a self IP configured for the ExampleA partition, the self IP is in the /config/partitions/ExampleA/bigip_base.conf file.
Have you tried editing the bigip.conf and bigip_base.conf files for this partition, taking another partition as a template.
Do not edit this .im file, these are system auto-generated files so manual editing will corrcupt the file system.

Hi
Thank you for your clarification.
I got your point I shouldn't unzip ucs and delete them. I should only view it from Winrar.
See this screenshot for the F5-1:
see once I move this configuration from F5-1 to F5-2 I don't want to see part-2
here is the content of this folder /config/partitions/Part-2 using WINSCP and the screenshots for bigip.conf and bigip_base.conf file contents.

So, my plan is to terminate the part-2 in the new F5.
