CirrusPre & Post validation of F5 configuration
Hi,
I am planning to do a F5 vCMP Guest upgrade, just want to know before upgrade as part of pre validation of VS/Pool (Online & Offline status) & also a snap shot of the current configuration & after upgrade again to do post validation of VS/Pool (online/Offline Status) & to take a post upgrade snap shot for comparison to pre upgradation snapshot to make sure all are as per the same before & after the upgrade.

This can be a bit tricky to compare like to like because depending on what happens in the upgrade some default configuration can change, and some configuration options are added. I think your best bet is to have some solid testing for each virtual server on that vCMP guest. I'm sure something exists out there that would allow you to make a query and compare the two configs but I'm not aware of anything off the top of my head.

Back in the day I would massage the output of tmsh show ltm to give me a one line per object status of everthing as a snapshot right before the migration. Post the migration create the same snapshot and then use diff to compare. Shows you anything thats different between the two. There quite a few tools out their that can help you such as bigip report. This was my solution before those tools existed.
