NimbostratusImport multiples iFiles
Anyone knows if there are ways to import multiple ifiles? There are approx 600 ifiles (mostly are jpg and a few html file) and want to find out what are the options available and thank you in advance.

Though I haven't done it myself, there is a way to do it with iControl. This question may help. The LocalLB::iFile and LocalLB::iFileFile namespaces may be of some use, though I think you need to make sure the files have been copied to the device first, then you can use iControl to import them.

Hi erictran,
before importing files make sure there are no spaces in file names and individual file size does not exeed the maximum size of 4 MByte. I´m using the following one-liners to get the files into filestore and declare them as iFiles. It will be necessary to upload these files i.e. via SCP into a dedicated directory i.e. /shared/fileimport/.for file in `ls`; do ls -l | grep -iv '^total' | echo "tmsh create sys file ifile "$file" source-path file:"`pwd`"/"$file | bash -x; done for file in `ls`; do ls -l | grep -iv '^total' | echo "tmsh create ltm ifile "$file" file-name "$file | bash -x; doneThat´s it. Hopefully it saves you a couple of hours. 🙂
Thanks, Stephan
uni_87886To refine Stephan's response, try this:
for file in *; do tmsh -c "create sys file ifile $file source-path file:`readlink -f $file`; create ltm ifile $file file-name $file"; done
erictran_173846I've also tried this option and this work just as well.
