Migration From BIG-IP V15.1.10.2 TO BIG IP-17.1.1.3.0.76.5 on VE

Hi Community, Need you support. Currently VM is on BIG-IP V15.1.10.2 and we are deploying a new VM on  BIG IP-17.1.1.3.0.76.5. Could you please confirm will there be any config syntax changes as planning to upload to existing file SCF file on new new. Please comment on this.

  • Based on the following, you can upgrade your VM from 15.1 to 17.1 without any issues.

    Any particular reason you aren't upgrading the VM and instead creating a new VM? Keep in mind that if you go this route you will not be able to use the same license from the 15.1 VM on the 17.1 VM without getting a hold of F5 and having them temporarily release the license and then register it on the new VM. You should just run through the code upgrade on the existing v15.1 VM. Just make sure to update the service check date before performing the upgrade.

     Thanks for response. we have new license available. As of now we have build the new VM but while taking console of VM getting below errors continuously du to this unable to set MGMT IP and other config.  Can you guide on that. 

    Error "Broadcast message fromsystem-jurnald@loaclhost.localdomain" "loaclhost.localdomain in logger[24148] Restarting platform_agent"

  • I recommend rebuilding the new VM and see if it allows you to configure that management IP.
