get_dossier and add-on options
Greetings,
I came across this behavior that I found interesting and thought to post it here.
I had to use get_dossier to activate a license and two add-ons.
I read https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K2595.
Somehow, I misread this line in the article:
get_dossier -b ABCDE-ABCDE-ABCDE-ABCDE-ABCDEFG -a ABCDEFG-ABCDEFG,ABCDEFG-BBBBBBB
and I wound up giving this command instead (note the double -a and no comma):
get_dossier -b ABCDE-ABCDE-ABCDE-ABCDE-ABCDEFG -a ABCDEFG-ABCDEFG -a ABCDEFG-BBBBBBB
Despite this, I received a dossier with no error message whatsoever so I thought everything was fine. I generated a license which upon further inspection had only one of the two add-ons.
So now my question is why did get_dossier not tell me my command was incorrect? I was also wondering why it would cleanly omit one add-on (the first one I think). The F5 activation page happily generated a license with one add-on, so I'm thinking there was nothing wrong with the dossier generated.
Has anyone had other similar experiences with get_dossier?

Add on reg key will have only two values eg:ABCDEFG-ABCDEFG. You are able to see module under resource module section after license update?

The license file that was created after the erroneous get_dossier shows only two active modules.
One is the LTM base.
The other is one of the two add-ons specified in the erroneous get_dossier command.
Is this what you were asking?
