  • Is this an HA pair of big-ips in a device group? Do you want to sync the configuration? A config sync can be done in the gui: Device Management>Overview

     

  • Yes its a HA pair , but i need to install the image .Below are the image files I imported on primary BIG iP and want to copy the image over over to Standby . I guess we can do that using copy command. Need assistance on it

     

    Hotfix-BIGIP-11.4.1-681.0-HF8.iso Hotfix-BIGIP-11.4.1-681.0-HF8.iso.md5

    use scp at the command-line

    from tmsh:

    run util bash

    scp /shared/images/Hotfix-BIGIP-11.4.1-681.0-HF8.iso @:/shared/images/

    [root@s0labf501b:Standby:In Sync] config scp /shared/images/Hotfix-BIGIP-11.4.1-681.0-HF8.iso root@10.128.56.72:/shared/images/ Password: /shared/images/Hotfix-BIGIP-11.4.1-681.0-HF8.iso: No such file or directory [root@s0labf501b:Standby:In Sync] config

      Use ls command to list directory content: config ls /shared/images/

      use locate command to find the file "Hotfix-BIGIP-11.4.1-681.0-HF8.iso" & it will give the path of image file. Then use scp command. locate Hotfix-BIGIP-11.4.1-681.0-HF8.iso
