upgrading LTM 10.2 to 11.2. No Objects found in Network Map

Hi all,

 

 

This is my first time attempting to upgrade the version of our LTM. We currently run 10.2 on 2 of 3 partitions. I have installed 11.2 on partition 3 with no apparent issues. However, when I activate that partition I get a provioning message which I can get around by re-activating the license. No problem, but I cannot figure out how to get the config back.

 

 

I've followed various steps online including:

This is the output from running: load /sys ucs /var/local/ucs/PRE-11_2-BACKUP.ucs

 

Replace all configuration on the system? (y/n) y
