using tmsh commands in tcl script

you need to write the scripts in the tmsh shell (or import them). At at tmsh prompt:

edit cli script test.tcl
run cli script test.tcl (or make an alias)

do you start from a list of wideIPs, or is it all of them?

ok thanks that makes sense as to how to do. Usually a list, depending on whats going could be 5 to almost 70. So, if I were to add those cmds in the tcl file could that ultimately work..without any logic?

 

Looks like there is a template that gets created when you create a new file.

 

modify script test.tcl { proc script::init {} { }

 

proc script::run {} { }

 

proc script::help {} { }

 

proc script::tabc {} { } }

 

Not all that familiar with tcl...does f5 have any good resources for tcl scripting? where in this template would I add: modify gtm pool members modify { :https { disabled } } modify gtm pool members modify { :https { enabled } }

 

Thanks for the help

 

the tmsh wiki has script examples, and I've written a few articles on tmsh scripts:

 

• Rapid iRule Removal
• Interface Statistics
• BIG-IP Backups

The BIG-IP backups one is actually iCall-based, but uses the same scripting, it just lives in another section of the config. The first two versions of this article use straight-up tmsh.

 

I have been messing around with some tcl stuff. I want to change the order of vips in a pool on the GTM. How would I inject this command into the tcl script ?

 

Here is the cmd I want to use ultimately - tmsh::modify /gtm pool poolname members modify { :https { order 1 }}

 

Here the test bed script that I put together:

 

modify script flip.tcl {

 

proc script::run {} {

 

tmsh::modify /gtm pool poolmen members modify { :https { order 1 }}

 

}

 

Its saves without error but I executed I get this error:

 

flip.tcl: script failed to complete: can't eval proc: "script::run" members: required brace is missing "{" while executing "tmsh::modify /gtm pool sdx-pq1-pool members modify { 10.15.10.200:https { order 1 }}" (procedure "script::run" line 3) invoked from within "script::run" line:1 script did not successfully complete, status:1

 

any help will be great! thanks
