Migration to rSeries using Journeys

Hello,

I would suggest an other approach

From the migration point of view you are trying to migrate from a VE to an rSeries wich is not the same platform.

Therefore, there will be some concerns.

1. If you have already configured networking, connect to the r2600 and copy /config/bigip_base.conf (vlan names should be the same)
2. On the old VE run f5mku -K to retrieve the current master key, put it on notepad (we will use it soon)
3. On the r2600 run f5mku -r <paste VE MasterKey> 
4. On the VE generate a fresh ucs
5. On the r2600 upload the VE ucs, and run tmsh load sys ucs <ucsname> -no-license -no-platform-check 
6. Configuration will fail to load because of networking 
7. on r2600 rename the existing /config/bigip_base.conf to bigip-base.conf.bak1 upload the bigip_base.conf you downloaded in step1 and run tmsh load sys config base.
8. The network config should be loaded
9. Run tmsh load sys config, config should be able to load correctly

Note :

• Always take a backup ucs before any step
• Target r2600 should have at least the same licensing as the source bigip VE.
• If your F5 is in production env refer to F5 support for assistance
