Hello,

 

 

On 11.3 I'm trying to modify an existing external datagroup as per the example above, but I get this error:-

 

 

[root@L22RRZPEP12:/S1-green-P:Active] tmp tmsh modify /ltm data-group external externaldg external-file-name list2

 

Syntax Error: "external-file-name" may not be specified in the context of the "modify" command. "external-file-name" may be specified using the following commands: create, list

 

[root@L22RRZPEP12:/S1-green-P:Active] tmp

 

 

Any ideas how I can modify the group without deleting and re-creating it?

 

 

Thanks,

 

Jon
