BIGIP remote config file transfer

Hi !

 

 

I hope this has not been asked already..

 

 

Is there any way to easily transfer and load bigip main config files (bigip_base.conf and bigip.conf) from a remote host? I mean a way to do it programmatically, using iControl and/or perhaps some other Perl module?

 

 

 

Thanks!

 

David

    Hey Mark,

     

     

    The routines use chunking - think of it as virtual blocks, where you send a small amount at a time and iControl reassembles it with concatenation on the back end - as far as I know, the theoretical limit is on disk space available.
