What exactly you are looking? By default all the configuration store in /Common partitions untill its(partitions) not specified.

I.e 

/config/partitions
--> here partition name could be Common or any thing..

By default bigip configuration store inside 

/config
directory, i.e bigip.conf, bigip_base.conf, etc.

Let us know if any specific configuration you are looking...

Cheers..

    Hi, Thank you for response. Here is what I have when go to /config/partitions directory:

     

    [root@bnk-ss-waf01:ModuleNotLicensed:Active:Standalone] partitions ls -l total 0 [root@bnk-ss-waf01:ModuleNotLicensed:Active:Standalone] partitions

     

    So, does /Common folder exist or not? I cannot find it in my F5 filesystem. Or maybe partition where is /config folder is mounted is named "common"?

     

    Best regards, Drasko

    So, does /Common folder exist on F5 or not?

    • Not exist 
      /Common
      folder

    I cannot find it in my F5 filesystem.

    • By default all the F5 configuration store in 

      /config
      folder, until partition not defined.

      i.e ltm snatpool /Common/abc-sb-devcentral

    Or maybe partition where is /config folder is mounted is named "common"?
