Checking VIPS that are in seperate partitions

Hello Is there a Big Pipe command that allows you to check VIPS that are in a particular partition. When im on CLI and the prompt is When i check on the GUI the VIP resides in a partition called manxxxxx-Client-RD2 the VIP i want to check is vip_10.89.115.25_80 when i issue a b virtual vip_10.89.115.25_80 list but the error appears below [root@F5:Active] [root@F5:Active] config b virtual vip_10.89.115.25_80 show BIGpipe virtual server query error: 01020036:3: The requested virtual server (vip_10.89.115.25_80) was not found. [root@F5:Active] config b virtual vip_10.89.115.25_80 list BIGpipe virtual server query error: 01020036:3: The requested virtual server (vip_10.89.115.25_80) was not found. [root@F5:Active] config

 

when i run a B virtual list command it list command im still unable to see the VIP in question

 

please can someone offer me some guidance, this simple check has been bugging me for weeks.

 

  • Can I ask what version of BIG-IP you are using? I know how to do this with tmsh - use "cd folder" (eg cd manxxxxx-Client-RD2) and then "list ltm virtual". Not sure about bigpipe, I suspect it can't be done.

     

  • The version we are using on the F5 is [root@F5:Active] config b version Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5.1.0.f5app Package: BIG-IP Version 10.2.4 595.0 Hotfix HF3 Edition

      great - use tmsh instead. tmsh cd manxxxxx-Client-RD2 list ltm virtual vip_10.89.115.25_80
  • root@F5(Active)(tmos) cd manxxxxx-Client-RD2 Syntax Error: unexpected argument "cd"

     

    doesnt seem to take the CD command

  • Cracked it thanks for your guidance root@F5(Active)(tmos) list ltm virtual vip_10.89.116.25_80 ltm virtual vip_10.89.116.25_80 { destination 10.89.116.25%4:http ip-protocol tcp mask 255.255.255.255 partition man612770-CondeNast-RD4 pool vip_10.89.116.25_80 profiles { http_x-forwarded-for { } oneconnect { } tcp { } } snat automap } root@F5(Active)(tmos) show ltm virtual vip_10.89.116.25_80

    this is the type of output i was looking for thanks for your help Paul

     

  • Hi Pete there was no need to Cd to directory basically from TMSH prompt i entered the following commands root@F5(Active)(tmos) list ltm virtual vip_10.89.116.25_80 to check the config of the VIP

     

    root@F5(Active)(tmos) show ltm virtual vip_10.89.116.25_80 to check the VIP status

      Thanks, that makes sense. Pretty sure that in v11 this changes to use the cd command to go into the partition.
