Automatically take server out of service

You have several choices.

 

 

1. Use CLI commands in a script on the F5 itself.

 

2. Use a ksh or bash script on a separate server to call CLI commands via ssh on the F5

 

3. Use the iControl interface from an external host to do your stuff

 

 

There's a lot of codeshare stuff in the CodeShare part of the website that demonstrates this. Along with the iControl SDK's etc.
