Request for config migration assistance

Hello,

 

I am in the process of migrating configurations from one hardware to another, using version 11.6.

 

I received a SCF file from the old hardware along with a tar file that has all the data from the /config/filestore directory.

 

My understanding is that I should be able to edit the SCF with the new management IP/gateway (moving to another data center) and just load the configuration via tmsh. I modify the file first and then upload to the F5 vCMP guest via SCP.

 

The command I'm using is: "tmsh load sys config file sourcefile.scf tar-file sourcetar.tar"

 

I get the following output after I choose to replace the running configuration: Loading system configuration... /defaults/asm_base.conf /defaults/config_base.conf /defaults/ipfix_ie_base.conf /defaults/ipfix_ie_f5base.conf /defaults/low_profile_base.conf /defaults/low_security_base.conf /defaults/policy_base.conf /defaults/wam_base.conf /defaults/analytics_base.conf /defaults/apm_saml_base.conf /defaults/app_template_base.conf /defaults/classification_base.conf /defaults/daemon.conf /defaults/profile_base.conf /defaults/sandbox_base.conf /defaults/security_base.conf /defaults/urldb_base.conf /usr/share/monitors/base_monitors.conf /usr/local/gtm/include/gtm_base_region_isp.conf /usr/share/monitors/gtm_base_monitors.conf Loading configuration... /var/local/scf/sourcefile.scf 01020036:3: The requested database variable (l"œ^) was not found. Unexpected Error: Loading configuration process failed.

 

Would anybody be able to point me in the right direction as to troubleshooting this? I should mention that this is all migrating from a non-vCMP system to a new vCMP guest on new hardware.

 

Thank you! JP
