CirrusSteps to move the complete configurtion from one LTM A to LTM B
Hi Thiyagu,
You can backup in LTM-A and restore configuration in LTM-B
For LTM-A:
1. Backup UCS
save /sys ucs /var/local/UCS/MyUCS.ucs no-private-key2. Download UCS
3. Look f5mku
f5mku -KFor LTM-B:
1. Upload UCS to /var/local/ucs folder
If the interface numbering of the devices is the same, skip to step 8.
2. Create temp folder in /var/local/ucs
cd /var/local/ucs
mkdir abc
cd abc3. Unzip UCS
tar -xzf /var/local/ucs/MyUCS.ucs4. Open bigip_base.conf folder
nano config/bigip_base.conf
# or
vi config/bigip_base.conf5. Change all interface names in bigip_base.conf
1.1 > 1.0
1.2 > 2.0
1.3 > 3.0
...6. Save bigip_base.conf
7. Zip files
tar -czf /var/local/ucs/newMyUCS.ucs *8. Enter LTM-A's f5mku value
f5mku -r <ltm-a f5mku value>9. Restore UCS

load sys ucs newMyUCS.ucs no-license no-platform-checkArticle for f5mku: https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K9420
CirrusHi EAA,
Thanks a lot for your reply. I have couple of more questions on restoring the UCS config in the new LTM.
1- In.a scenario wherein the LTM has many partitions then in this case do I need to edit the "bigip_base.conf " file of all partitions ?
2- on renaming the interface in the bigip_base.com file, since the new LTM is a high end device I'm finding lot of interfaces in the new LTM,
Do I need to remove the additional interface configuration in the new LTM bigip_base.conf " file? and please confirm that I have to replace the interface number in the new LTM config file as like existing LTM base confi?
Existing LTM:
net interface 2.1 {
if-index 864
new LTM
net interface 6.2 {
if-index 560
mac-address 00:94:a1:7d:e0:9e
media-max 10000T-FD
mtu 9198
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards,
Thiyagu
