Restoring Config onto different unit - odd results

I do not believe I got it from an article or a site. I learned about bigip merge when we had to split one device into two, or rather one HA pair into two. We used 'b export oneline' and just picked out what we needed to take off one LB and put on the other.

 

 

As for running it repeatedly I don't think it would be a problem. How automated is your DR process? Will human hands be involved in cutting over to your DR site? Maybe you can just periodically export the config and copy it to bigip3 and then during a DR event apply the config.

 

 

Along those lines it might be wise to keep a copy of the UCS from bigip1 or bigip2 available during a DR scenario anyway. That way if you've forgotten something you can at least get it from the config.
