NimbostratusUploading ISOs via legacy f5-sdk
I'm working on porting our legacy Bash-based BIG-IP upgrade script to Python, and running into an issue when trying to upload the new image via the (apparently legacy) SDK. Here's the relevant code s...
Update: use upload_image, not upload_file.
This was successful (slow, but successful) for me:from f5.bigip import ManagementRoot b = ManagementRoot('ltm3.test.local', 'admin', 'admin') b.cm.autodeploy.software_image_uploads.upload_image('/Users/jrahm/Downloads/BIGIP-14.1.4.1-0.0.4.iso')make sure your firmwareIsoPath is accurate and that method requires a .iso extension. Also, if this is greenfield and you're not really too far into a conversion, I'd highly recommend bigrest over the f5-common-python library. Here's a couple compare/contrast articles I wrote between the two:

shepardceHa! I was using the wrong function in the end. That certainly sounds like me.
I'll take a look at bigrest as well, especially since it sounds like that'll have more support going forward; sadly, we aren't yet at a point where we can go completely declarative at my org. Thanks!

I really like the tradeoffs Leo made with bigrest comparitively. Hit me up any time!
