List of synchronized objects

Hello,

 

 

sometimes I have doubts about which objects are sychronized. It is easy thinking that only LTM objects (pools, VS, profiles, monitors, NAT/SNATs and iRules) are synchronized, but therefore there are many objects that they have no relation with LTM module. For example: failsafe triggers, routes or memory protection parameters (in /config/BigDB.db).

 

 

I am looking for in AskF5 a list where I could verify all the parameters that are synchronized, but I have found any document where this thema is discussed.

 

 

Could anybody help me?

 

 

Thanks everybody!

    Hi,

     

    I have one question about /usr/libdata/configsync/cs.dat file.

     

    I'm having a look at that file but I don't know how to read it.

     

    is there any document or anywhere I can find detailed explanation about the syntax or structure of that file ?

     

     

    the structure is like :

     

    one word.one number.one word = some attributes.

     

     

    For example, the below is one part of

     

    -------EXAMPLE BEGINS HERE------------

     

    Defaults for 'save' and 'sync' operations

     

    save.1000.inst_pre = cs_backup_remote

     

    save.1000.file = /config/bigip.conf

     

    save.1000.backup = yes

     

    save.1010.file = /config/bigip_base.conf

     

    save.1010.backup = yes

     

    save.1010.local = yes

     

    save.1020.save_pre = conn_mirror_save_pre

     

    save.1020.file = /config/bigip_base.conf.cstmp

     

    save.1020.save_post = (rm -rf /config/bigip_base.conf.cstmp)

     

    save.1020.inst_post = conn_mirror_inst_post

     

    save.1040.file = /config/default_base.conf

     

    save.1040.local = yes

     

    save.1100.file = /config/bigip.license

     

    save.1100.local = yes

     

    --------EXAMPLE ENDS HERE-----------------

     

     

    What do the numbers 1020,1040,1100... mean ?

     

    what do the words local,file,inst_post mean ?

     

    What are the path or keywords right after the '=' ?

     

     

    Thank you.

     

     

    Sakolan.

    hi all,

     

    Thanks to your help, i understand now the structure of /usr/libdata/configsync/cs.dat file and how to use it to adjust it to the need of my customers.

     

     

    but /usr/libdata/configsync/cs.dat exists on BIG-IP version 9.x only.

     

     

    my question :

     

    where is the cs.dat located on BIG-IP version 4.x ???

     

     

    Thank you.

    Hi Sakolan,

     

     

    In 4.x, the UCS file keys are stored in the local database. You can view the database entries using 'b db get Common.Bigip.CS.save.*'. Take a look at SOL4420 for details: (Click here)

    Hi Aaron,

     

    I had a look at SOL4420, everything is clear now.

     

    Thank you.
