Move configuration from Physical LTM(10.x) to Virtual LTM(12.x)
Please perform following steps:
- Take UCS backup of your physical device
- Configure only management IP on your virtual machine.
- Copy UCS file from your physical device to virtual machine( use SCP or WISCP or other tools)
- Once UCS file is copied to virtual machine install UCS using below command tmsh load sys ucs /var/local/ucs/ verify
- See for any errors and if no errors are observed then install UCS as mentioned below. tmsh load sys ucs /var/local/ucs/ no-license
- Note down all your encrypted password rg: Tacacs, LDAP etc.. because some time ucs will not load with encrypted passwords.
- If you receive errors for encrypted password
- Go to Config folder and take bigip.conf file and then nullify all the passwords with empty
- Then load ucs file again Please let me know any more information is required

How would we be able to take care about the SSL certificates with this? That is a challenge, right?

and also how to nullify the password?

Hi.
We're migrating our F5 Platform from Hardware to Virtual appliance (BIG-IP v13.1.5 (Build 0.0.32) and we've built already the VM part and successfully tested one VIP for testing purpose.
My ask was, we wanted to move/transfer our existing 100+ VIPs having on Hardware to the Virtual Machine.
Could you suggest best suitable solution for this and interfaces mismatch is observing on our devices
Currenlty Hardware is having active interfaces 2.1 and 2.2 and our virtual Machine is configured with 1.1 Interfaces.
Suppose if we upload the .UCS file which we took from Hardware and upload it to Virtual machine, How can we deal with Interface mismatch part?
