Migrating from Physical to Virtual f5

We are running a physical f5 (BIG-IP 11.3) and wondering if there is a way to restore the ucs (from the physical setup) onto a virtual f5? (Note: Our physical f5 is in appliance mode)

 

We originally ran into a platform issue which we resolved with SOL13136 http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/13000/100/sol13136.html

 

Now we don't see that error, but it still fails.

 

If any additional information is needed. Please ask!

  • Thanks, we're going to try it.

     

    However, I think we might run into problems getting the scf off of the f5. Have you worked with appliance mode? Do you know the best way to get an file off of the f5?

     

  • Yeah, you can use sftp or scp with root account. Default passwd is "default".

     

    SCF file should be in /config folder.

     

    Take care.

     

  • The root is actually disabled with appliance mode. Do you happen to know a work around with using appliance mode?

     

  • Damned, I did not see you were in appliance mode. I searched and I did not see any way to download the configuration in Appliance mode.

     

    Perhaps someone else has an idea ???
