NimbostratusWe have software based F5 on VM and we have hardware F5. At this time we are collecting the backup of configurations for all of these. My question is there any difference the way we backup and restore these backups?

you may supply no-license and no-platform-check options when restoring.
root@(ve11a)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) load sys ucs test.ucs ?
Options:
include-chassis-level-config Include chassis level configuration that is shared among boot volume sets.
no-license This option mostly is for RMA use. It loads full configuration from a UCS file except license
file.
no-platform-check Bypass platform check.
passphrase Passphrase for (un)encrypting UCS.
reset-trust Reset device and trust domain certificates and keys when loading a UCS.
CirrostratusJust to add, with VE, if you restore to a different host you may find the MAC addresses for interfaces in the configuration file are wrong.
