Cirrusreplace a failed bigip dns appliance with RMA
We have two bigip DNS systems in a dns sync group, they are both standalone. Due to a hardware issue we have to RMA one of the boxes. Should I restore the RMA unit with a UCS file, then run gtm_add to add the rma unit into the dns sync group? Or should I just manually copy over the bigip.conf, bigip_gtm.conf, bigip_base.conf? Should I not copy any config and just use gtm_add to sync the config from a curent member of the sync group? Also, does bigip_add need to be ran on all of the GTM's that connect to these DNS devices to copy over the certs?
Thanks,

K13542: Restoring configuration data to a BIG-IP GTM or BIG-IP DNS RMA unit
The basic procedure is to get the RMA system to the correct revision.
Disable GTM Synchronization on the current running GTM to prevent an older config from overwriting the newer config
Align the Master keys as detailed in K13542
Then restore the UCS on the RMA system.Run a gtm_add to update the config on the RMA device and rebuild the Sync Group.
