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?

I've had a new unit delivered to replace a failed unit.

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?329Views0likes1CommentComparing 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 changes850Views0likes2CommentsHA pair UCS backups - file sizes very different from each other
I've noticed with a few of the UCS backup files I'm pulling from some HA pairs that the file size of one may be larger than the other (50-100 meg) and I'm trying to figure out why. These are ones with APM licensed. Earlier I deleted all but the most current anti-virus update packages on each, so it's not that. Any idea what else I could look at? I tried comparing the actual UCS file contents, but there are so many folders and subfolders I gave that idea up. Thanks!Solved1.7KViews2likes9CommentsSpace 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 advance803Views0likes4Commentsautomating 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 archive543Views0likes3Comments
