Using bpsh to merge configuration

Hi F5'ers,

 

 

I've noticed that F5's solutions (eg. http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/13000/100/sol13114.html) involving "bigpipe httpd include" involve bpsh.

 

 

My question - why preference for bpsh - why not using

 

- bigpipe httpd include '" httpd_config_commands '"

 

- bigpipe merge

 

commands?

 

 

R's, Alex

    Hi Alex,

     

     

    I think any of those methods would work. Have you tested either/both of them?

    Hi Aaron, thanks for reply.

     

    I've successfully used bigpipe command.

     

    As for merge - as I understand it requires the to-be-merged SCF-like content has to be complete, that is, containing whole object definition - I wouldn't be able to modify parameter values (eg. only changing value of httpd's "include" parameter). Correct?

    I wouldn't be able to modify parameter values (eg. only changing value of httpd's "include" parameter). Correct?i think so. anyway, what i usually do is to print current object configuration, e.g. b httpd list > temp.txt, modify it and then merge it.
