Issue Unix commands

How do we issue unix type commands while in the tmsh shell? We neeed to remove the mcpd.bin files so Big-IP recognizes new NICs on reboot. How do we "cd /var/db" and "rm /var/db/mcpd.bin"? Thanks!  ...

i do not think delete /var/db/mcpdb.* or touch /service/mcpd/forceload works in appliance mode.

 

there are two enhancement IDs for listing/renaming/removing file in appliance mode but /var/db and /service/mcpd are not in the directory list. i am not aware of other method. you may open a support case to see if they can add /var/db and/or /service/mcpd directory to those IDs.

ID350895 - Appliance Mode: whitelist SCP directory access, whitelist (or disable) sftp access

 

hope this helps.
