node name re-written: Upgrade from v10 - V11

having done some testing - and it seems that the SCF config fails to import when I change the node name. The reason is because the pool that has the node in it, references that node by its NAME not just the IP address. Which in this case is the IP address.

So what you get is this error - Configuration error: invalid node address, the IP address x.x.x.x already exists.

You do not get this error, if you import an scf that has the pool information correct - even if the node / pool / vs exists.

So my question is....

Can anyone think of an easy way i can also replace the name listed in the pool from the IP address to the "friendly name"

This wouldn't be as necessary if the orginal upgrade/import hadn't re-written my name fields - or i could search on the node GUI by description!

Thanks again

    address 10.1.1.2
    description test_node1 
}
ltm pool /Common/Test_pool1 {
    description test_pool1
    members {
        /Common/10.1.1.2:80 {
            address 10.1.1.2
        }
    }

ltm node /Common/test_node1 {
    address 10.1.1.2
    description test_node1 
}
ltm pool /Common/Test_pool1 {
    description test_pool1
    members {
        /Common/test_node1:80 {
            address 10.1.1.2
        }
    }
