Transfer files between partitions

Hi, f5 guys, I made an installation of newer image file on different partition on f5 box, and changed the boot location to the new partition. Before the upgrade I have saved .ucs and .scf files....

Hi Preslav,

below are the commands needed to retieve UCS backups from your individual boot partitions.

 Create directories 

mkdir /mnt/var_dir_partition_hd_1_1
mkdir /mnt/var_dir_partition_hd_1_2
mkdir /mnt/var_dir_partition_hd_1_3

 Mount the /var folder of the individual partitions

mount /dev/mapper/vg--db--sda-set.1._var /mnt/var_dir_partition_hd_1_1
mount /dev/mapper/vg--db--sda-set.2._var /mnt/var_dir_partition_hd_1_2
mount /dev/mapper/vg--db--sda-set.3._var /mnt/var_dir_partition_hd_1_3

 Copy old *.UCS files to your active partition

cp /mnt/var_dir_partition_hd_1_1/local/ucs/config.ucs /var/local/ucs/config_from_hd1_1.ucs 
cp /mnt/var_dir_partition_hd_1_2/local/ucs/config.ucs /var/local/ucs/config_from_hd1_2.ucs 
cp /mnt/var_dir_partition_hd_1_2/local/ucs/config.ucs /var/local/ucs/config_from_hd1_2.ucs 

 Unmount the var partions

umount /mnt/var_dir_partition_hd_1_1
umount /mnt/var_dir_partition_hd_1_2
umount /mnt/var_dir_partition_hd_1_3

 Remove the directories

rmdir /mnt/var_dir_partition_hd_1_1
rmdir /mnt/var_dir_partition_hd_1_2
rmdir /mnt/var_dir_partition_hd_1_3

Cheers, Kai
