F5 vCMP guest hardware model

guys,

is there a way that we can extract the hardware model details from the vCMP guest and not by using the F5 vCMP host as we knew it.

 

Br,

    There is no way that I know of to be honest. You would need to look at the F5 vCMP host via HTTPS GUI or obtain a QKVIEW from the host and review those details.

    Of course, you could do SSH between host and guest or guest and host. Please see the following: https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K25741112. But running a TMSH command on the vCMP guest to obtain hardware info of the host may be difficult. SOMETIMES, you can look at the license though and obtain the hardware. Remember, in a vCMP setup, the license on the host is copied to the guest. So try looking at /config/bigip.license or running command tmsh show sys license. If you see the hardware model there, then grep it out.
