Hello all, Our organization has started using a new IP space and I need to create a copy of our existing VSs with the new corresponding destination address. We are going to keep the old servers for a while, I will create a new partition and copy the virtual servers to new partition. Is it possible to copy-edit and paste the virtual server configuration using bigip.conf file? Should I edit the /config/bigip.conf file or the bigip.conf file under new partition folder? What is your recommended course of action
Hello,
You can use these steps for the task at hand
Write all Virtual Server configuration to a temp file
(bash) tmsh list ltm virtual >> /var/tmp/vs.txt
Open the output file for modification in Vi
(bash) vi /var/tmp/vs.txt
Modify the VS configuration file in Vi (Search & Replace)
(vi) :%s/destination 99.99.99/destination 88.88.88
(vi) :wq
Sample above is assuming that all your virtual servers are currently in 99.99.99.*, and the new desired address is 88.88.88.* where the last octet value is retained
Append new configuration to the existing
(bash) tmsh load sys config merge file /var/tmp/vs.txt
