vscode ucs save edits
When using the vscode extension 'The F5 Extension' to view a local UCS file, I can search and analyze the objects with great ease. However, I cannot save any edits. I keep getting a warning message stating: Failed to save app.conf; Unable to write file /app.conf (Unknown(FileSystemError): Error: EROFS: read-only file system, open /app.conf) I was hoping to use vscode to edit bigip_base.conf without unpacking, using vi, then repacking. I even tried editing the file permissions prior to opening the UCS > chmod 666 file.ucs Is there something I'm missing or miss-understand, ...or Is this not possible?

UCS saving process failed.
Hey, Whenever i try to save archive my config, i get the following results: Saving active configuration... /bin/sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' /bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file Fatal: executing: md5sum /config/monitors/' Operation aborted. /tmp/configsync.spec: Error creating package WARNING:There are error(s) during saving. Not everything was saved. Be very careful when using this saved file! Error creating package Error during config save. BIGpipe parsing error: 01020001:3: The requested operation failed. I've verified so i have disk free so its not that... anyone come across this before?
UCS install failing on RMA device
I've had a new unit delivered to replace a failed unit. I've got a UCS backup from the old unit, and when I attempt to install it with the procedure (tmsh load sys ucs your_ucs_file no-license) outlined in: https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/12000/800/sol12880.html but the install fails with the below output (device name omitted for security): [root@:Active] config tmsh load sys ucs /var/local/ucs/-160703.ucs no-license Processing UCS file: /var/local/ucs/-160703.ucs Installing full UCS (11.2.1) data, excluding license file.

Many thanks AnthonyLoad UCS to not active volume which is in version lower than originating (need this for script)
In my case I have two boot locations with different images versions (like below): Volume Product Version Build Active Status HD1.1 BIG-IP 12.1.2 0.0.249 no complete HD1.2 BIG-IP 13.1.0 0.0.1868 yes complete I need to load UCS (predefined config version 12.1.2) to volume HD1.1. I need to load this UCS when I'm logged in on volume HD1.2 (which is active volume). I already checked "cpcfg" command but got error: "New version (12.1.2) is not >= originating version (13.1.0)" I already checked command "tmsh load sys ucs" but this command don't have option to load ucs to not active volume. I'm building a script so I need solution in this particular moment and situation. Any ideas?Comparing two UCS backup files
Is there anyway to compare two ucs files? A customer did an upgrade without follow thesoftware compatibility matrix, apparently everything worked ok untiluntil I detected a high cpu consume. F5 support team recommended us to do a rollback and then upgrade again followingthesoftware compatibility matrix rebuilding the configuration changes by hand. The problem is my customer doesn´t know how many changes have been made since the bad upgrade so I want to compare the current UCS and the UCS that I will get after doing the correct update process to find the configuration changesSpace in /var on physical device
I have been trying to run a BIGIP upgrade and keep getting stuck at the final part of the install where it checks for space in /var. This seems to be when the config has been put into a ucs and it wants to extract it. We have symlinked /var/local/ucs to a different location but it still fails as it seems to check just /var. We have removed everything possible but cannot get it to a point where there is enough space to work. What solutions is there for this problem on a physical device? As I understand it you can only resize /var on a VE. Thanks in advance
automating UCS archive creation, with date in the file name
In an F5 BIG-IP load balancer, is there a way to achieve the following objectives? automate / schedule the process of generating / backing up its UCS archives, and automatically include / append the date (of generating the UCS archive) into the file name of the UCS archive
