AltostratusvCMP virtual disk migration between hosts
Is it possible to copy a virtual disk for a vCMP guest from one BIG-IP vCMP host to another vCMP host and expect the image to successfully run on the new hardware? Not ViPRION in this case, it's from one BIG-IP appliance to another. The licenses should match between the systems.
License is different for each device. You take a backup of UCS file and restore on another device with below command.
tmsh load /sys ucs no-license
Some times if encrypted passwords are configured on original device, you need to nullify the passwords before restoring the UCS file on new device.

Thank you very much indeed. I did have some issues migrating using UCS due to encrypted passwords.
I received the error message below, and assumed it had to do with the master key on the device.
2019 Jan 16 16:26:58 name load_config_files: "/usr/bin/tmsh -n -g load sys config partitions all platform-migrate" - failed. -- 01071769:3: Decryption of the field (privatekey) for object (9717) failed. Unexpected Error: Loading configuration process failed.
I did however reset the master key passwords on the source and target systems to the same password, according to the solution below, but i still received the error above. Now I'm not sure which encrypted password is stopping the migration to go through.

verify bigip.conf and bigip_base.conf files and see any encrypted passwords are there, if yes nullify them.
