HowTo disable/enable VServer based on timetable?
There are two ways to accompish this.
- The F5 is a linux server essentially. So create two bash scripts -- one to disable the VS and one to enable the VS via TMSH commands, which it appears that you may have already. Then add two crontab entries. Pros - Quick, Cons - Dirty, You have to manage.
- Use RESTfull APIs and provide the application team with an account to have access to their virtual servers / applications in their own administrative partition. Have them use an external server or even automation like Ansible, to make the RESTfull API calls. Pros - You dont have to manage the app availability. Proper the proper way to go, as an F5 BIG-IP upgrade can throw out your crontab entries! Cons - Slower to implement.
