Unable to restore UCS file 11.4.1 HF10

Hi all,

 

I was given a UCS file which was created by using version 11.4.1 HF10. I have no information about the model of the F5 appliance that this file came from. I tried to restore this file on a 7050 F5 series with no luck. When I tried to type the command I received the following error:

 

root@(default)(cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) load sys ucs XXXXXX.ucs no-license no-platform-check Replace all configuration on the system? (y/n) y Processing UCS file: /var/local/ucs/XXXXXXXX.ucs grep: /var/tmp/install_all/config/ucs_version: No such file or directory

 

Installing full UCS () data, excluding license file. Saving active configuration... grep: /var/tmp/install_all/config/ucs_version: No such file or directory The hostname is set to default Extracting manifest: /var/local/ucs/XXXXXXX.ucs Fatal: executing: /bin/sh -c tar -zxf /var/local/ucs/F5CFPFO01.ucs -C /var/tmp/.install_ucs 2> /dev/null Operation aborted. root@(default)(cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos)

 

The 7050 platform running the same version of OS (11.4.1) with the same hotfix. Has anyone ever came across to the error shown above?? I have also provisioned all the modules that I saw by extracting the UCS file and looking into the configuration by using a notepad.

 

Thanks in advance

    Looks like the issue is /var/tmp/install_all/config/ doesn't exist on the new system.

     

    Difficult to say without prodding around.

     

    try a mkdir /var/tmp/install_all before trying again.

    Hi Iain,

     

    Thanks for your answer. I created the full path /var/tmp/install_all/config/ucs_version but again the fatal error for extracting the UCS remains.

    All folders in bold above disappear after a while.
