NimbostratusAnyone have any ideas on a quick way to migrate 70 Virtual Servers, their associated Pools and the associated nodes from one LTM to another LTM already running Virtual server services? I assuming I cant import the UCS file because the devices is running services..
Nimbostratuskeep in mind the LTM 2000 only runs on 11.x code so the configuration will be slightly different... For the most part the Virtual server configuration should be too different. I would suggest you copy one VS config and add via cli to see how the configuration is deployed on the LTM 2000

Cirrusi have not tested installing an archive from a 1600 to a 2000 series appliance but from tmsh you can import the UCS using the no-platform-check and also no licence...
you can upload the UCS via the gui or winscp to /var/local/ucs
root@(bigip)(cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) load /sys ucs working.ucs no-platform-check no-license
make sure your target system in running the same version of code, have seen this fail between minor versions.
MVPCirrusMVPsome good questions already asked, are both big-ips on the same TMOS version?
if there isn't much more required then virtual servers, pools and nodes i would take a SCP, strip out what you don't need and merge it in the config.
