UCS configuration import failure : While loading ASM config Use of uninitialized value in transliteration (tr///) at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/F5/ASMCo

Hi Experts,

I have obtained UCS archive from running 3900 box (LTM+ ASM) running on 11.2.0. While I try to import configuration using tmsh load sys no-platform-check no-license, I get the following error.

Product : BIG-IP Platform: UCS : C106 System: Z100 Version : 11.2.0 Hostname: Installing --full-- configuration on host IADS01C.adqimr.ad.lan Installing configuration...

    Looks like you are restoring a UCS from a Physicall 3900 box onto a Virtual Edition Z100.

     

    According to F5 Solution SOL13132 https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/13000/100/sol13132.html

     

    "The UCS archive is intended to back up and restore the configuration of a specific platform. When installing a UCS archive on a dissimilar platform, the _configuration may fail to load due to the differing hardware component_s. These failures require that you intervene manually, and identify and resolve each error that the system presents when you attempt to load the configuration."

     

    I suggest you also open a case with F5 support by emailing support@f5.com
