CirrusFinding Virtual Server/Wide IP by just server names
Hi all,
I have been given a server which was malfunctioning, at that time I wasn't given any VIP details. The issue has now been fixed but it took two hours as the person requesting was fishing ...
Hello Adhil,
I don't know about WIPs, but I think you could track down what virtual server is assigned to a server by backtracking through the bigip.conf file in CLI.
Open up bigip.conf in vi, and search for your pool member/server. Once you've found the entry, look at which pools it is a part of. Then you can search for that pool and find out which virtual server it is attached to.
Here's a guide on vi if you don't feel super comfortable navigating through it.
Feel free to ask if you have any follow-up questions,
Austin

My assumption:
You have backend server IP, want to determine what on F5 uses it.
GUI: Go Local Traffic Manager -- Network Map and just search for the IP.
LTM CLI:
tmsh list ltm pool one-line | grep IPaddress
tmsh list ltm virtual one-line | grep PoolFromAbove
GTM/BigDNS CLI:
tmsh list gtm pool one-line | grep VirtualServerFromAbove
tmsh list gtm wideIP one-line | grep PoolFromLastCommand
Hopefully I didn't typo any of those.
