Partitions - Duplicate Object names?

Hi,   Sorry for all the questions - nearly there.   I've read some documentation that says you can't have two objects on the F5 with the same name (v10 documentation) even if they are in diff...

Hi Phil,

 

configuration items of different admin partitions are stored in different configuration files in v11.

 

Please check the /config/partitions/ folder in the BIG-IP filesystem.

 

In v10 everything was stored in separated sections of /config/bigip.conf.

 

As they show up with a different paths now, perhaps it is supported now.

 

Especially with v11.6 we saw a couple of changes regarding administration and privileges and even the ability to rename objects.

 

As there are very likely more changes to come in future release I would recommend to be conservative with the naming conventions to avoid problems after updates in the future.

 

Thanks, Stephan
