Restoring VCMP guest from UCS
- Jun 10, 2021
I opened a ticket with F5 support and Peter (from London) helped me out.
The procedure I was using to reset the master key was to issue the command "tmsh modify sys crypto master-key prompt-for-password" and then use the hash from the guest as the password. The correct procedure is to use "f5mku -r <hash>" on the new guest. After doing that, the UCS file was able to load.
Additionally some cool optimizations that I learned from Peter that really helped with the performance of AVR and the GUI:
tmsh modify sys db avr.stats.internal.maxentitiespertable value 1024
tmsh modify sys db provision.extramb value 2048;tmsh save sys config
tmsh modify sys db restjavad.useextramb value true
tmsh modify sys db provision.tomcat.extramb value 100

Hello Zuke,
I have the same issue... Can you please detail how to use the procedure "f5mku -r <hash>"
Thanks in advance
