UCS backup not loading Big IP DNS pool
I was planning to upgrade Big IP DNS currently in version 13.x to version 15 and then to version 16.
I was labbing up the upgrade before doing it on the prod device.
While trying to restore the UCS backup file to the lab environment same version (version 13) no error was displayed but the pool and rest of the configuration did not load up. The only configuration that was restored was self ip , hostname, vlans , and the listerner configuration.
What am I missing ? Any suggestion or help would be appreciated.

Hello,
Could you please confirm if the ucl file s not corrupted. or we need to check if there is any compatibility issues while upgrading from 13 to 15. also you can try to restore the ucs via CLI than GUI
load sys ucs /path/to/your/ucs_file.ucs

you should consider using platform-migrate keyword if your test LAB F5 and real/prof f5 are on different platform/hardware series etc. Also if you have a different license on prod UCS will try to restore that license on your LAB test F5 it will fail.
You have to use no-license keyword in the same load sys ucs commandtmsh
load sys ucs <filename> platform-migrateTo restore an F5 BIG-IP configuration using a UCS file while migrating to a different platform and bypassing license checks, use the tmsh command with the load sys ucs option, including no-license and platform-migrate
tmsh
load sys ucs <ucs_file_name> no-license platform-migrate
================
Note
Replace <ucs_file_name> with the actual name of your UCS file.
no-license: This option tells the system to ignore the license check during the restore.
platform-migrate: This option allows you to migrate the configuration to a different BIG-IP platform.
Example: load sys ucs myconfig.ucs no-license platform-migrate
