Nimbostratustmsh command string tuncated !!!
Hi F5 folks,
We have a script to run tmsh command remotely to setup BIGIP pool members. Here is our command example to delete a pool member from the "SFO" pool, remotely.
expect our_expect_script host_name user_name user_password
'modify ltm pool SFO members add { 10.123.123.111:8888 }
save / sys config
run cm config-sync to-group device-group-failover '
This command runs perfectly when we were using the 10.x F5 system. And just recently, ours is migrated to 11.x version and we start to see some failed ones.
Based on the log message we got, this command =>
modify ltm pool SFO members add { 10.123.123.111:8888 }, when it reaches F5 system, sometimes it has been truncated as:
modify ltm pool SFO members add { 10. ^H123.123.111:8888 }. And it fails the operation.
So far we have noticed about 5 similar failures of total 1000+ running.
Does anyone have some clue why we have this extra
^HThanks,
Chun

- Hi Chun, Is the script executing automatically (like a cron job, for example) or is it done by human intervention? It seems that the "^H" appears when someone is pressing the "delete" key: http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview/id/386870.html
CJI_252924It is being executed automatically. But we do have a group of person and also our script trying to access the F5 with the same user account. I don't know if some other session sends such things and if it matters ?- Hi Chun, Well, the easiest way to determine this would be to create another user especially for the script. That way you know that the script can only be executed in an automated fashion and there's no chance of another user sending similar commands at the same time, for example. You can also track in the audit log how the messages get logged and by whom.
