NimbostratusChange Self-IP
I cannot change one of my self-ip's die to the fact that there are several pools attached to this self-ip. What is the best way to change it without deleting half my pools? Can I download the configuration, change it to a text file, make changes, then change it back to the .ucs file? Please advise the best way in changing the self-ip.
Thank you in advance.

Assuming you're not changing the subnet, you could very simply edit the bigip_base.conf in place (vi) and then issue a reload:
tmsh load sys configBut make sure you make a copy of this file first before editing, in case you make errors.
Ron_130795Thanks Kevin. Where does the F5 store this copy?

/config

How do I load the new config back to the F5?

Kevin, I saved the config to the same name with the changes, how do I get the F5 to take the changes?

Kevin's original post had that. You just run "tmsh load sys config" from the cli.
