Symptoms

The SSH files required for SSH sign on are not transferred when performing a UCS restore operation. Further, files are not transferred even during upgrade.

Impact

This might impact SSH operations.

Conditions

This can happen when performing a UCS restore operation, or when upgrading from one version to the next.

Workaround

Add the /etc/ssh directory to the UCS backup configuration. This causes all subsequent UCS backup and restore operations will now include the /etc/ssh/ directory. To complete this procedure, refer to K4422: Viewing and modifying the files that are configured for inclusion in a UCS archive :: https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K4422.

Fix Information

The correct folder is now present when performing a UCS restore operation, so that all of the files required for the operation of SSH are transferred.
