Restoring Config onto different unit - odd results

That makes sense since you are restoring the config from bigip2. The UCS from bigip2 will contain the bigip_base.conf from bigip2 which will only have its own self-ips in it.

 

 

Try restoring a config from bigip1 and then running "b failover redundant disable". This will make the unit think its a standalone instead of a member of a HA pair.

 

 

Another option if you are really only concerned about the shared parts of the config is to use something like

 

 

bigip2 b export oneline | grep -e "^\(node\|monitor\|virtual\|pool\)" > /var/tmp/shared.conf

 

bigip2 scp /var/tmp/shared.conf bigip3:/var/tmp/shared.conf

 

 

bigip3 b config save /var/tmp/bigip3_full.ucs

 

bigip3 b merge /var/tmp/shared.conf

 

 

The bigpipe merge command is like import but instead of replacing the whole config it merges it with the config provided.
