- K14906: Overview of the UCS "no-platform-check" tmsh option
- K82540512: Overview of the UCS archive 'platform-migrate' option
Important: In versions prior to 13.1.0 and 12.1.3, although you can bypass the platform check, F5 does not currently have a supported method for migrating UCS files between dissimilar BIG-IP platforms. For example, performing a ConfigSync between different hardware platform types or between hardware and a virtual edition. In 13.1.0 and later, and 12.1.3 and later, refer to K82540512: Overview of the UCS archive platform-migrate option.
