Physical UCS restore to a new VM

Good day,

 

I have a client which will be doing a device upgrade. (Out with old, in with new) Received the UCS and would like to proactively load it on my VM environment to upgrade to the latest hotfix of version 12 and see if there are no errors.

 

However it seems that when I try to install the ucs with the command load sys ucs xxxxx no-license I receive an error.

 

Is this due to the fact that the ucs was created on a physical device and that you can't restore a physical ucs to a virtual machine?

 

Error attached

    Hi,

     

    Does your Virtual Edition have a Base Registration Key? This is needed to restore a UCS file.

     

    You can check the /var/log/ltm file to get more information.

     

    Maybe you can use the no-platform-check option while loading the UCS file.

     

    tmsh load sys ucs [ucs file name] no-platform-check

     

    Hope this helps.

     

    Regards, Martijn.

    Hello Jaques,

    Try to use both options, no plateform check & no license

    tmsh load sys ucs [ucs file name] no-platform-check no-license

    Because if you use only the "no-license" it won't work because the ucs was generated for another platform (physical) and if you use only the "no-platform-check" without the no-license it won't work because the license is delivered for another serial number.

    Regards
