SCF v UCS
Hi,
I'm trying to fully understand the differences between an SCF and a UCS file and best practice on which to use for a migration. I know that the SCF file is a flat text file with various bigpipe commands and the UCS file is an archive file which includes the configuration files themselves (e.g. bigip.conf). In the docs for both they both state that they can be used to configure a new big-ip system, but there must be key differences to be aware of when knowing when to use either tool.
My particular scenario is this, I have 2 big-ips in a HA pair running version 9.4.4 and we will be purchasing new hardware on version 10.x shortly. Would the SCF or UCS tool be the best tool to use or does it not matter in this scenario.
Thanks in advance,
Nathan
