Sync datagroups in Bigip

Hi Kevin,

if it would be an option to use external datagroups you can automate the distribution of shared elements to each unit and import from CLI via script, i.e.:

tmsh modify sys file data-group datagroup_exernal source-path file:/var/tmp/datagroup_external.class
tmsh save sys config partitions all

This will replace the current datagroup with the content of the file in /var/tmp/ after distributing it i.e. via SCP.

If it comes to import multiple files (may be external datagroups, keys/certs, monitors or iFiles) you can automate it as I described here (just change to the modify syntax):

Import key, certificate, data-group (class), external monitor and iFile objects to TMOS v11 filestore from CLI

I´m not sure if admin partitions will be helpful as the objects in a specific partition cannot be used by objects i.e. in the common partition (at least I didn´t find a way by now).

Thanks, Stephan

PS: This requires to run TMOS v11+.
