NimbostratusDoes irules are seperated by Partition or it is common for all partitions
I tried creating an irule in a particular partition. While listing the irules it is shown in all the partitions.
How can I check to which partition the irule belongs??
Open the iRule in question, and you will see the following headers:
Properties Name MyiRule Partition CommonIf you need to check for same information on a larger scale, and don't want to click as much, perhaps the easiest method to find out all iRules that belong to Common is to use grep on the config backup file:
`cat /config/bigip.conf | grep 'ltm rule'
Beginning in v11, /config/bigip.conf holds items of Common partition only. Items of other partitions are in /config/partitions/partition-name/bigip.conf file. Check here for more details: https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/13000/800/sol13895.html

NacreousI do not remember exactly how it was in v10. I recommend to upgrade to v11.5.4 or v12.1 if that's possible. If not, have a look at /config/bigip.conf file and look for any iRules that are properly configured in Test partition. Do you notice any keyword differences when comparing to iRules that are in Common partition? I.e. 'partition /Test' or something as such? I suppose there must be something like that, and if you find it, then start including that keyword combination in your temp files from which you load/merge new iRules to active configuration.
