save_configuration questions

First off, the save_configuration() method does not issue a config sync. It merely flushes the configuration from the configuration engines memory to the disk configuration files (bigip.conf and bigip_base.conf). Essentially the save_configuration call is issuing the equivalent of the "bigpipe save" and "bigpipe base save" CLI commands.

 

 

If you desire a sync between boxes, you'll want to use the System.ConfigSync.sync_configuration() method. That will trigger the equivalent of a "bigpipe config sync" CLI command.

 

 

Hope this helps...
