what does the 'load sys ucs' platform-migrate option do?

When using tmsh command 'load sys ucs' one of the options is 'platform-migrate'   There doesn't seem to be much F5 documentation that refers to it. What does it do?   -thanks!

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.
