config save hangs ...
I am trying to backup my configuration for an F5 unit that I recently became responsible for. After typing "BIGPIPE config save myconfig", the system waits a few seconds, clears the console and prints "Saving active configuration...", then nothing. I am finding a ucs file in the /var/local/ucs directory of 238123 bytes.
I am concerned that I may have a corrupted configuration, so if anyone can help me to answer the next set of logical questions:
1) Has this process actually hung? I am expecting more text making me feel good about my backup, but I might just be expecting too much.
2) Is there a way to validate the current configuration in the F5?
3) Is there a way to validate the generated ucs file without loading it back into my only F5?
4) Is there an alternative to this method for saving the complete F5 configuration?
Many Thanks!
