puppet f5 device config : Partition '' doesn't exist

puppet (v3.2.2) master + agent on single server (Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS) with agent serving as f5_proxy

 

 

I have defined no partitions other than default Common partition.

 

 

Following the instructions at `http://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/f5` :

 

 

node.pp

 

 

node my_f5_proxy {

 

include f5

 

 

f5::config { "f5.test.mydomain.com":

 

username => 'admin',

 

password => 'admin',

 

url => 'f5.test.mydomain.com',

 

target => '/etc/puppet/device/f5.test.mydomain.com.conf'

 

}

 

}

 

 

device.conf

 

 

[f5.test.mydomain.com]

 

type f5

 

url https://admin:admin@f5.test.mydomain.com/

 

 

Running `puppet device` gives error :

 

 

 

Error: Can't load f5 for f5.test.mydomain.com: Exception caught in Management::urn:iControl:Management/Partition::set_active_partition()

 

Exception: Common::OperationFailed

 

primary_error_code : 16908289 (0x01020001)

    I haven't used the puppet interfaces, but from their docs, they say they support partitions in the device.conf url. It seems the BIG-IP is returning an error when setting the active parition to "". Try explicitly adding "/Common" to the end of the url in the device conf

    [f5.test.mydomain.com]
type f5
url https://admin:admin@f5.test.mydomain.com/Common

    Not sure if that will work, but it's worth a try.

    According to Puppet Labs support, this error is due to pupppetlabs-f5 module not supported beyond 2.7.22 ( I was using v3 when I encountered the error ).
