Management Pack under 9.4.8

Hi

 

 

We're running LTM 9.4.8, when we've tried to install Management Pack it says to upgrade our big3d (I understand to Version 10.0.1) and it scares me!!!

 

 

 

Is anybody useing Management Pack under 9.4.8 ?

 

 

Anyway I've found a SOL just to recover our big3d (SOL10049: Restoring the original big3d agent on the BIG-IP system).

 

 

Thanks

    Hello Angel,

     

     

    Yes, 9.4.8 is a supported BIG-IP platform for the Management Pack.

     

     

    The big3d binary must be updated to collect real-time statistics and configuration information from the device. However, the big3d agent will only be updated if you explicitly authorize it during the discovery process.

     

     

    This is documented at: http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/default.aspx/MgmtPack/DiscoveringF5NetworksDevices.html

     

     

    If you would prefer to update the big3d agent manually, this is documented at: http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/default.aspx/MgmtPack/Big3dManualUpdate.html

     

     

    If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to let us know.

     

     

    Thank you,
