LTM config replication onto new partition/Route Domain on same device

Hello Matt,

 

 

i think you are on the right track with the SCF (single Configuration Files). All you need to do is generate the file ("b export ") save it from /var/local/scf to somewhere for editing, change the IP's on the pool members, copy it back on and do "b import ".

 

 

All pool member addresses should then be updated. You could manually edit the bigip.conf files but you have to be careful doing that.

 

 

 

Perhaps another method would be create new pool members via the GUI, assign them to the relevant pool, and mark the old pool members offline. Once any persistent connections are finished you can then delete the old pool members and bring the new ones into existence (presumably just change the IP on the back-end server).

 

 

I hope this makes sense, if not please post back (and I'm blaming any stupidity on my part on a combination of tiredness and self inflicted gym punishment having rotten my brain).

 

 

Chris
