Why do you wanna reset the master key when you get it by running simple commands,

f5mku -K

Run the above on your existing platform1, it will give you the master key. Note it down.

On your new platform, use the re-key command 

f5mku -r
,

Then load the ucs file.

tmsh load sys ucs .ucs no-license
