When restoring a UCS from PlatformX to PlatformY ignores the platform specific information.

I rememeber "no-platform-check", but not 'platform-migrate'. Is this something new? On which BIGIP SW version you can see this option?
Hi, When you are trying to load a saved UCS on another device and be careful of the migration to not override the existing device specific information - You will need the platform migration option of load sys ucs followed by the ucs file name and then the Platform No check option.
I normally use
root@(kishore)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) load sys ucs test.ucs ? Options: no-license This option mostly is for RMA use. It loads full configuration from a UCS file except license file. no-platform-check Bypass platform check. passphrase Passphrase for (un)encrypting UCS. reset-trust Reset device and trust domain certificates and keys when loading a UCS.
To know more no this option please proceed to read this one below :

Hi Kishore,
the
is already well documented. But in latest TMOS version there is the newno-platform-check
option included, which is not documented somehow...platform-migrate
itacs@(f5-dev)(cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) load sys ucs config.ucs ? Options: no-license This option mostly is for RMA use. It loads full configuration from a UCS file except license file. no-platform-check Bypass platform check. passphrase Passphrase for (un)encrypting UCS. platform-migrate Don't load or modify some objects specific to a particular device. reset-trust Reset device and trust domain certificates and keys when loading a UCS.
Cheers, Kai

Not sure when it appeared, but it's in 12.1.1:
test@(test)(cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) load sys ucs config.ucs ? Options: no-license This option mostly is for RMA use. It loads full configuration from a UCS file except license file. no-platform-check Bypass platform check. passphrase Passphrase for (un)encrypting UCS. platform-migrate Don't load or modify some objects specific to a particular device. reset-trust Reset device and trust domain certificates and keys when loading a UCS.
So, this Platform-migrate will not consider loading entities related to specific devices. Example bigip_base.conf ( this is just one comparision ) and objects that cannot be loaded to a different device because that might cause a collision at the configs.
No-platform-check does not care about the platform while load the UCS - applies all settings
platform-migrate carefully migrates only config that can be shared between two differnt platform devices.

This command was introduced in 12.1.1 and is intended for helping migrate current BIG-IP LTM and GTM configurations to the iSeries platform. This tool works with BIG-IP versions 11.5 and 11.6 currently; support for additional versions is expected in upcoming releases/hot fixes. Best to contact your local Systems Engineer for additional information on both the command and iSeries hardware.
