EM

Hello, We noticed that the Entreprise manager is not user-friendly. Very complicated for an end user to disable /enable a node or VIP via this tool. It's useful for admin task ( backup/archive/upgrade). It would be more simpler for an end user to connect directly to the LTM and disable/enable a node with one click.

 

But as we have different zones and different devices, we are looking for a management tool to centralize the status of all nodes/VIPs and allow the end user with a simple process to disable/enable/add nodes/VIP ....

 

Is there a way to make the EM ( Entreprise manger ) discovers all node/pool/virtual servers on all F5 devices and displays all of them. Then user can connect directly to the EM and make the needed action lik we do on the LTM ( enable/disable ...)

 

Note : The ANM ( cisco ) to manage ACEs reals, serverfarm and VIP is very useful and it would be nice to have the same functionality with the F5 EM.

 

Thanks in advance for your help. Regards, Marwen

    Marwen,

     

    You can create custom lists in Enterprise Manager. Is something like this what you're looking for?
