NimbostratusLTM UCS Creation and download with icontrol
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a way to automate a daily backup of my LTMs.
I'm using (Kiwi/Solarwinds) CatTools to pull the config but I need to get the SSL certs.
...
I can't really answer why a config save takes three hours. That seems a bit long to me but support will likely be the ones to answer that one. As for iControl, the portal process is running under subdomain control that limits certain directories that the process has access to on the system. It's likely that the root of the file system is restricted. You can look in the /etc/subdomain.d/usr.local.www.iControl.iControlPortal.cgi file on your BIG-IP to see what directories iControl has read and/or write access in. You'll likely need to move the file into a accessible directory if you want to download it with the iControl API. I know that the /config and /var/tmp directories are allowed.
Hope this helps...
-Joe
