CirrusReplacing F5 new ifile html file
Hi,
I need to replace the existing ifile (for example: "prod.html" file) with a new ifile that has the same file name (prod.html) in F5 LTM. Please provide the steps to upload the new "prod.html" file to F5 LTM and how to replace the existing file with the new one. Since there are multiple irules referencing the same ifile, renaming the ifile is not an option; therefore, the requirement is to replace the HTML file with the new one. Please share the recommended steps so that I can create a change plan for this.

You can upload a new HTML file to the BIG-IP and update the "system" iFile to point to it without changing the "LTM" iFile name
- SCP updated HTML file to /shared/tmp/prod_new.html
- Update system iFile to point to new HTML file
modify sys file ifile <IFILE NAME> source-path "file:/shared/tmp/prod_new.html"
Preet_pkHi Michael_Saleem
Thanks for the details. That really helped.
How can I back up the current iFile before replacement? The iFile shows path as /var/config/rest/downloads/prod.html, but this file doesn't exist in the /var/config/rest/downloads/ directory. Please let me know how can i locate this ifile which currently being used.
The current iFile should should be located in the filestore:
/config/filestore/files_d/Common_d/ifile_d/
