Backing out of the UCS File?
Folks...
I have been given a number of UCS files from our BigIp Admins and I need to back out of these files into the base.conf and bigip.conf files so I can load them into a network modeling tool I am working on. I reliaze I can unzip this UCS and I end up with a configsync_blah.im file that I can parse for the terms base.conf and bigip.conf, however there is some odd markers between the sections that look like they might be file headers... ie its not simply a clean line of delineating one file from the next. Additionally there seems to be reference to bigip.conf as well as bigip.conf.otcu, .mtch, .test, etc and I am not sure which it the ACTIVE version of this file.
With that said do you folks know of a way to take the UCS file and back into files that existed in the original BigIp operating system or should I just hack up a little code to parse for start and stop chracters and paste them into a file named $hostname_base.conf and $hostname_bigip.conf
Excuse my ignorance as I don't know much about the BigIp platform and was really looking for some outside expertise to solve this little issue.
Cheers
