NimbostratusClear LTM config - NOT factory re-set
Hopefully this should be simple - Is there a clean method to erase the LTM config.. i.e. leave all the base config intact self-IPs, hostnames etc but overwrite the bigip.conf content.
I tried loading a new bigip.conf file form tmsh but the device lost all config I had to re-configure the device from scratch, even though I didn't touch bigip_base.conf.
Thanks

loading bigip_base.config will let you accomplish what you what to do.

Hello,
You can install a new volume and boot on it without copying the configuration. This is in System >> Software Management

Another way I do this, is just deleting all LTM objects. e.g.
tmsh delete ltm virtual all delete ltm policy all delete ltm pool all delete ltm node allor by editing bigip.conf file and then running:
tmsh load sys configRegards.
Lee_SutcliffeThanks for the answers, I used to do similar in bigpipe. I think the difference I did was to load a 'file' in tmsh. E.g.
which in hindsight would be expecting an SCP - given there was no base config in there it wiped the existing config.tmsh load sys config file /var/tmp/new-bigip.confLoading bigip_base.conf is a useful tip 🙂
