Migration of complete ucs file of BIGIP 2000 LTM to r5800 creating tenant/ Using Journey APP

Hi , F5 Community,

I need help to migrate complete BIGIP 2000 LTM ucs file/configurations by creating new tenant to r5800 series bigip device. 

I have researched about Journey app, but its only installed(i think) through Linux based system and furthermore need to install docker related items, but i dont have enough experience in docker and linux. Is there any other way using windows based machine to migrate complete ltm module file to r5800 creating new tenant on r5800.

    You can run docker or podman in windows too.
    But indeed some basic docker commands are needed

    Which version do you run in 2000 ?

        Hi atifali​ 
        It seems that your more realistic option is to use Journey
        As said you can install docker on podman to windows and run Journey there.

         

        There is also an unorthodox method where you could set up a temporary VE with version 13. Add it to current cluster and sync it.
        Then remove it from cluster, upgrade it to 15.x.x and sync it with an r5800 tenant running 15.x.x 
        At the end you will have your config migrated to r5800 tenant.

         

        But it's your choise at the end.
