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
Restoring a VE with a UCS
Hello All, I am fairly new (1 year or so) working with the Virtual edition and am now writing a disaster recovery document for our deployment. I am hoping someone out there has done it before I attempt it. I took the troubleshooting class so I know that if the vm crashes and you have to import a new ovf that when you recover from the UCS you have to issue a no license switch. What I would like to know before that would be how much of the networking do you need to rebuild before you use the UCS. We do not have a management network so I have to access the VEs from a self-ip that allows HTTPS and SSH. Could I create the external vlan, the self-ip that allows me to scp the ucs to the new re-licensed (I would have already released the license and using the offline license tool relicensed it) and restore from tmsh the rest of the configuration, or do I need to create all of the vlans, and the external, internal and HA sef-ips as well? Any input would be much appreciated!
