Restore UCS file across platforms

Hi Everyone,   I need to know whether anyone here tried to restore UCS file restoration across platforms? I will need to restore from 4000 to 4200. This is possible? I think both units are on v11....

Hi Mr. Evil,

 

with cross-platform ucs restore you may face issues with interface mappings and resource provisioning.

 

This will not be the case with moving a 4000 config to a 4200.

 

That´s why I won´t expect problems when using the the "no-platform-check" and "no-license" options.

 

Restore from WebUI does not support these parameters and will overwrite the license.

 

Btw, just used exactly this procedure to move a 5200 LTM/APM configuration to VE.

 

Before I removed interface and trunk settings and increased memory for the VE. No problems at all.

 

Thanks, Stephan
