script to convert bits of config from bigip 10.x to 11.5.x format

I was wondering if there is a script to convert pieces of configuration like pools, monitors, profiles, virtuals etc., from 10.x format to 11.5 format other than upgrading the device itself or manually editing things into the 11.5 format........ Is the script that actually does this while upgrading available to be used independently?

  • The best solution is to backup the configuration, import then restore it on a 11.5 virtual appliance with the command :

    load sys ucs yourbackup.ucs no-license no-platform-check 
    

    The restore operation will upgrade your configuration from version 10 to version 11.5. you will then be able to read piece of configuration with tmsh:

    list ltm virtual Name of virtual
    list ltm pool "name of the pool"
    list ltm pool "name of the pool" one-line (to get all the parameters in one line)
    

    On the target appliance, you can import these pieces of configurations with:

    load sys config merge from-terminal
        paste the configuration
        CTRL-D
