Viprion: Modify VLAN tags in bigip_base.conf

Hello friends. I unfortunately have no lab viprions to test this. I have two VLAN tag mismatches on one of my hosts, and that VLAN is on all 5 guests that reside on the host. I need to rectify this mismatch in order to deploy BIG-IQ, otherwise I get error conditions and offline guests.

 

My friend gave me this process:

 

  • Take a backup of the bigip_base.conf
  • Edit the bigip_base.conf
  • tmsh load sys config verify
  • tmsh load sys config
  • Check the results, commit the change with tmsh save sys config

 

My question is, in doing this on the host, what will then happen with the bigip_base.conf on the guests? Does "load sys config" on the host make the guests update their bigip_base.conf file as well?

  • Its not recommend solution in prod environment. you will face outage if guest will be in Active on VCMP host device.
