NimbostratusCopying iApps
I was wondering if there was an easy way to copy iApps from one load balancer to another?
I currently have the iApps working on one load balancer and need to duplicate it on another, but I need to ch...
If you know how to copy LTM virtual server info from bigip.conf on one ADC to another, then copying an iApp is not much different. Simply copy the "sys application service" definition. There are two added steps: (1) since iApps are always deployed in a folder, you must script a "create sys folder" command or add a folder definition to bigip_base.conf; (2) After loading the config files that you just modified with "tmsh load sys config," the iApp will be there, but it will not have been executed. You must either enter the iApp via the UI and click "Finished," or execute on the command line "tmsh modify sys application service MY_IAPP.app/MY_IAPP execute-action definition".
jbuddenh_127560Fred, I'm also trying to move iApps from one LTM to another both running 11.5.3. Initially I ran into this error 01070734:3: Configuration error: Can't associate (/Common/AEMforms-ia.app/AEMforms-ia) with folder (/Common/AEMforms-ia.app) folder does not exist. Unexpected Error: Validating configuration process failed. I found this article, and I successfully ran this command: create sys folder /Common/AEMforms-ia.app Vlidated the folder creation with this command: list sys folder | grep AEMforms-ia.app sys folder AEMforms-ia.app { Now, when I try to load the config, with this command: load sys config file /var/tmp/ticf5ltm.py-bulkmove-bigip.conf verify I get this error. 01070734:3: Configuration error: Unknown template (/Common/A-Travelers-iapp-template-v2-8) specified for application () Unexpected Error: Validating configuration process failed. The template (/Common/A-Travelers-iapp-template-v2-8) does exist on the system, so I suspect the LTM is complaining about the "...application ()..." Any ideas? Thanks, Jeff- The service and the template are 2 different things. The application service that you moved refers to an application template that you apparently did not move. You can copy the template either using export/import in the UI, or by copying it into bigip_script.conf.
- jbuddenh_127560Fred, The template is present on the destination LTM. I re-imported it just to be sure, and got the same error. load sys config file /var/tmp/ticf5ltm.py-bulkmove-bigip.conf verify 01070734:3: Configuration error: Unknown template (/Common/A-Travelers-iapp-template-v2-8) specified for application () Unexpected Error: Validating configuration process failed. Do you think the "application ()" in the error message is significant? Could this be an issue with version 11.5.3? Thanks, Jeff
- What is the output of "list sys application template A-Travelers-iapp-template-v2-8 partition" ?
- jbuddenh_127560(tmos) list sys application template A-Travelers-iapp-template-v2-8 partition sys application template A-Travelers-iapp-template-v2-8 { partition Common }
- The error message indicates that the template is missing, mis-named, or in the wrong partition, but none of those things appears to be the case. I am not aware of any issue with 11.5.3 that would cause this behavior. Please file a case with F5 Support.
