Hi zandar,

you may play around with a partial configuration export/import using the TMSH utility.

1.) SSH to your TEST-System and launch TMSH

2.) Export the desired configuration via the various LIST commands

(tmos) list ltm virtual VS_HTTP_210
ltm virtual VS_HTTP_210 {
    destination 172.21.17.210%1:http
    ip-protocol tcp
    mask 255.255.255.255
    profiles {
        http { }
        wam-tcp-lan-optimized { }
    }
    rules {
        HTTP_210
    }
    source 0.0.0.0%1/0
    source-address-translation {
        type automap
    }
    translate-address enabled
    translate-port enabled
    vs-index 41
}

Note: Also export the related configuration (e.g. Pools, Monitors, Profiles, etc) by using the various TMSH list commands.

3.) Combine the individual exports into a single txt file and customize the settings as needed (changing IPs, naming conventions used for Test/Prod, etc.)

4.) SSH to your Prod-System and launch TMSH

5.) Import the previously exported and already customize configuration exports via configuration merges. 

(tmos) load sys config merge from-terminal
Enter configuration. Press CTRL-D to submit or CTRL-C to cancel.

6.) Paste the customized configuration export and hit CTRL-D 

Loading configuration...

7.) Enjoy your sparetime^^ 😉

Cheers, Kai
