IBM Maximo and BIG-IP F5 LTM and WAM iApp

Problem this snippet solves:

Updated: 12/26/2012 - Local Traffic Management and WebAccelerator configuration have been tested and confirmed with this iApp for BIG-IP Version 11.3.

This iApp configures BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager (LTM) and Web Accelerator Module (WAM) for use with IBM's Maximo Asset Management System. This iApp is modeled after the Maximo deployment guide: Located on the Resources section of F5.com and covers the LTM module as well as the WAM module. Configuration of Access Policy Manger and WAN Optimization is not configured by this iApp so the steps in the deployment guide should be followed.

This deployment guide was developed against and tested with BIG-IP Version 11.2 HF1 and IBM Maximo Version 7, Release 1.0. However, the basics of Maximo operation are such that this iApp should work with both older and newer versions of Maximo, however, testing has not be conducted against any other versions. UPDATE: This iApp has also been confirmed to work with BIG-IP version 11.3.

To deploy this iApp, import it into the Templates section of the BIG-IP GUI and then run it from the Application Services section. For further instructions on using iApps, please see product documentation on F5.com or further samples on DevCentral.
