NimbostratusHello,
Based on the below article from F5, it is mentioned that "F5 recommends that you run the same version of the BIG-IP software on the target BIG-IP system that you used on the system you backed up. However, you can restore a UCS archive from a system with earlier software on a system running later software"
There is a section in the article for "Restore UCS archives on BIG-IP systems running later software versions" which is exactly your case, you check this section step by step to avoid running into any issues.
Reference: https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K13132#later
Also, please keep in mind this "The UCS archive is intended to back up and restore the configuration of a specific platform. When you install a UCS archive on a dissimilar platform, you must use either the no-platform-check or platform-migrate options."
Read the above article very well, and good luck with the migraiton.
BR,
Mohamed Salah
