NimbostratusAdding new GTM to network
Hi Fourm,
Just when I though I understood the GTM I read this on f5.com
"The big3d_install script installs the big3d agent and runs the bigip_add script. Run the big3d_install script only on a system that is configured with the most current BIG-IP system software on your network, because big3d is only backward compatible."
In the other docs it says the bigip_add script must be run after the gtm_add script, as the gtm_add script gets the configs in sync.
On the examples I have read, the order of events is "big3d_install", then "gtm_add" then "bigip_add", but the above infop would suggest, it needs to be run in this order "gtm_add", then "big3d_install" ( as this includes the cert exchange in the bigip_add" script
I am trying to make sure I wont wipe out the config as it suggests in the website, so what is the correct order to run these scripts in you need to upgrade the big3d agent

Hi GreeceMonkey,
gtm_add script adds a GTM to existing GTM Sync group as stated here. So that changes can be amongst each other at the GTM level. (Click Here).
big3d_install script is about adding a GTM into a network with existing LTMs.(Click Here)
bigip_add script is about LTM integrating with existing GTM Systems (Click Here)
The order of sequence I took was that added a new GTM to an existing sync group and then big3d_install.
As always backup your system because you never know when the "Chaos Monkey" will strike.
I hope this helps
