perl ConfigSync = Epic Fail

Totally my bad. This was a script I migrated from v4.x but didn't test the other deviations of the save_flag. I've updated the codeshare entry to work correctly.

 

 

Here's how the logic of this function works.

 

 

1. If save_flag is SAVE_FULL, the filename parameter is used and a full configuration archive is saved to /var/local/ucs/filename.ucs

 

 

2. If save_flag is SAVE_HIGH_LEVEL_CONFIG, the filename argument is ignored and the current high level config is saved to the /config/bigip.conf file.

 

 

3. If save_flag is SAVE_BASE_LEVEL_CONFIG, the filename argument is ignored and the current base level config is saved to the /config/bigip_base.conf file.

 

 

This is all highlighted on the SaveMode documentation

Sorry for the confusion and please post if you have any further questions and I'll do my best not to mess you up again B-).
