Migrating older F5 BIG-IP has 3 partitions & Route Domains (RD) to new F5 BIG-IP with 2 partion & RD
Here i can see the configuration in your partition name
ltm virtual /Part-2/node1-part2 {
address 192.168.2.2
}
So to shift/move this item to your /Part-1 partition i will make the following changes to the all objects whether monitor, node , pool , virtual where so ever they are referenceing or pointing to /Part-2 , i will change those part of the configuration lines replaced with /Part-1 like as follows, you can use notepad++ to replace /Part-2 with /Part-1 in one go after getting all the configuraiton item in one place or you can do one by one as per your choice, pick one set of Virtual , pool , nodes monitors and change the partiton number and paste in the configutiton using
load sys config merge from-terminal
Change that above as follows
ltm virtual /Part-1/node1-part2 {
address 192.168.2.2
}
And it will be easy to get the alll configuration item created in no time , it will save tons of our time.
i suually do it for all the configurrtion itema, i get the itms need to shift, modify their partition names and any other details oyu can change before you get the final confiuration, names IP etc etc, you can modify before pushing the configuration.
now once you got the final configuation , you are all set to push it into the desired partition.
use
load sys config merge from-terminal
and
1. keep pasting either small small parts of your configuraiton one by one
and
2. if you are confident you an use large pieces of configuraiton multiple vips multiple pools multiple monitors all dependent profiles etc etc,
else
3. it will error that your Virtual cannot be created this pool is missing or this client ssl profile or this http profie or this persistence profie is missing if they have been called in a Virtual server confiration lines,
4. so make sure all the dependedent configuration items also be part of your configurtion either before your paste new items ot they must be part of your pasting process
5. so that when F5 writer and validates all the dependednt configration iteams they must be present so that you will not get any error and get your Partiton /Part-1 get filled with the configuration you need to move from partition /Part-2
Hope to see you complete your configuraiton move from one partition to another partition soon easiy.
