Http class to irule conversion?

Yes you are right.

Now one last thing. I need to convert pools form version 9 or 10 to version 11.6 I have more than 500 pools.

A pool in the old bigip looks like this :

pool Test80 { monitor all UptimeTesting and gateway_icmp members 10.160.4.11:http 10.160.4.12:http }

I need it to look like this in the new big ip (ver 11.6.):

ltm pool /Common/pTestPool { members { /Common/10.160.4.11:80 { address 10.160.4.11 } /Common/10.160.4.12:80 { address 10.160.4.12 } } monitor /Common/gateway_icmp and /Common/http }

Can you help me with this ?

No. all will have gateway_icmp monitor. and some http too. But i can add http after. So if i have all pools with gateway_icmp it would be ok.

Thanks !!! a lot for your help.

thanks!!!!!

are you doing an in-place upgrade or a migration to new devices? the f5 upgrade process will (to the best of its ability) automatically convert current configuration formats to that of the new code level. i've done migrations by both converting current config into new config syntax and moving config to new hardware/VE or by upgrading the entire config in a test environment and importing the new config to the new hardware.

are you stuck with doing a migration of old-code/hardware to new-code/hardware, or do you have other options?

Hi mihaic,

bigpipe pool list | grep -oE '^(pool [^ ]+|[[:blank:]]+([0-9]+\.){3}[0-9]+:[[:alnum:]]+)' | \
sed -r ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n[[:blank:]]+/ /g' | \
sed -r 's/pool ([^ ]+) (.*)$/ltm pool \1 { members { \2 } monitor gateway_icmp }/g'

The one-liner above dumps all pool configuration data, extracts name and members only and builds the syntax to import in v11.

tmsh list ltm monitor http  
tmsh list ltm pool 

Commands above provide all data in required format to import directly into v11.

tmsh load sys config merge file    

or inside tmsh:

load sys config merge from-terminal
(copy and paste input and press ^D to finish)

Don´t forget to save to startup config afterwards:

tmsh save sys config  

Thanks, Stephan

Adding admin domain (/Common/) information to the output (but not mandatory from my perspective):

bigpipe pool list | \
grep -oE '^(pool [^ ]+|[[:blank:]]+([0-9]+\.){3}[0-9]+:[[:alnum:]]+)' | \
sed -r 's/([0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+):([[:alnum:]]+)/\/Common\/\1:\2 { address \1 }/g' | \
sed -r ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n[[:blank:]]+/ /g' | \
sed -r 's/pool ([^ ]+) (.*)$/ltm pool \/Common\/\1 { members { \2 } monitor \/Common\/gateway_icmp }/g'

Nice. It works. Not for all the pools but it works 80% of them Thanks a lot !

All the pools are the same, they use the same monitor. They have similar names. But for some that command probably does not do the conversio to ver 11 In the output i see some pools that appear only with the nad no memebers, monitor.

something like this :

pool pTest3 pool pTest4 ltm pool /common/ptest5 { members { /Common/10....... }

Looks like this:

pool pTest3

pool pTest4

ltm pool /common/ptest5 { members { /Common/10....... }

No , all pools have at least 1 memeber. i found the issue. Pools with only one member are not converted to version 11. Only the name of the pool appears.
