Hi,

 

In a regular F5 DSC working in HA mode, cluster members use Gratuitous ARP or MAC Masquerade during normal operation and when cluster failover occurs.

 

In Microsoft Azure this is implemented by making RESTful API calls to Azure Resource Manager.

 

The code in this repository is my proposed API-based failover solution for BIG-IP HA in Microsoft Azure:

Hi, Thank you for your reply

 

How do I check the TMOS version?

 

When I run this command in BIGIP in Azure:

 

Code
show sys version

I get this output:

 

Code
Sys::Version
Main Package
  Product     BIG-IP
  Version     12.1.0
  Build       1.0.1447
  Edition     Hotfix HF1
  Date        Wed Jun  8 13:41:59 PDT 2016

ID590993      ID592363    ID591881-1  ID582629-1

When checking again in the github I see that I need to issue this command:

 

Code
tmsh modify /cm trust-domain add-device { device-ip 192.168.x.y device-name BIGIP02 username USER password PASS }

And the result is:

 

Code
Syntax Error: "device-ip" unknown property

Any idea?

 

Regards,

 

Noam
