CirrusvCMP to rSeries Config comperision
We procured the rSeries some time ago, and I built it using the UCS files from the vCMP guests. However, I was unable to make it live on the network. During this time, several changes have been made to the vCMP guests. I am now planning to bring the rSeries into production and decommission the vCMP appliances, but I am not sure what changes have been made on the vCMP guests since the initial build. Is there a way to identify those changes and apply them to the rSeries appliances? I would prefer not to rebuild the rSeries appliances from scratch.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks,

One way to do it would be to compare the bigip.conf files of the old and new instances. I believe that file's found in the /config directory, and you can use a utility like Filezilla to retrieve it. A comparison utility like ExamDiff can then be used to show the differences between the two config files. You may need to rename the file, replacing .conf with .txt, if ExamDiff doesn't like it.
If you no longer have access to the old system, it's possible to extract the bigip.conf file from a ucs backup. Instructions for doing that can be found online (I've done it couple of times).
Good luck!
