tmsh save changes on command line?

For example, if I run a couple tmsh commands like the following:

 

modify ltm virtual NAME mirror disabled

 

modify ltm pool NAME members add { 10.30.10.10:5656 }

 

 

And I see my changed reflected on the GUI - I'm assuming that saves my changes into the config. Then I can sync to the standby unit and all's good?

 

 

The reason I'm asking is because occasionally I'll see "save /sys config" in tmsh config steps but haven't seemed to need it. Am I missing anything?

    Changes made via the command line (or tmsh scripts) are not automatically saved, though they take effect immediately and will be reflected in the BIG-IP GUI. Changes made in the GUI however are automatically saved (that might be configurable, but it's the default) - and so if you make changes from tmsh and then make a change in the GUI, all of the changes will be saved (including those made from the CLI even though you didn't do it manually).

     

     

    As a general rule, you should explicitly save changes via tmsh once you are done with an operation.
