Complete backup and restore overview
Before you can perform a backup and restore, you must
disable appliance mode, if it is enabled. There are a number of tasks
recommended to perform a complete backup and restore of the
VELOS
system controllers, chassis partitions,
and tenants on
that same system.If you want to move a system configuration from one system to another, you
also need to perform a key migration. The
VELOS
system uses an encryption key
, also called the
primary key, to encrypt and decrypt highly sensitive passphrases contained in the
configuration database. You follow a key migration
process to set the encryption key on the system to a known value so that same key can be
set on another machine using the same passphrase and salting.Key migration is supported between systems that are running
the same versions of F5OS on both.
