NimbostratusiRules LX config sync in cluster with workspaces, how?
Hi all, A customer of us is using with success the iRules LX and he likes it very much to do some REST-API security. Now he has a iRules LX workspace which is located in the path /var/ilx/workspaces. He is using a Big-IP cluster and is doing a config sync to the standby node. Unfortunately the iRules LX workspaces are not synced to the other machine... BigIP Version is v12.1.1.
Since I couldn't find any information about iRules LX and clustering I ask it here: How should we proceed when the active cluster member is down and the created iRules LX?
Many thanks for an answer.

Interesting! I will follow this one. Please add which version you're running? Could be important.

Peter_Baumann_5Hi Patrik, I updated the question with the version. It is v12.1.1. In my lab I have v12.1.2, same problem.

I have the same issue, just tested with 12.1.2. Are there any news on that or do we need to open a support case?

I just opened Case C2316361, let's see if we find a solution...
Eric_Flores_131Hi Peter, This is intended behavior of iRules LX. Only the active plugins are sync'ed across clusters. The workspaces are not.
iRules LX was designed with DevOps teams in mind and the workspace was intended for active code development that would not be done on a production device.

Answering my own question:
The same behavior is still in v13.1.x. But it is no problem to export and import the workspace to the other cluster member.
It seems that it is not supported as @Eric Flores has explained above.
