Short Description
Perform autonomous F5 LTM upgrades with python
Using a single python script to Automate F5 LTM's deployed as a High Available Pair
Problem solved by this Code Snippet
the script gathers ucs and qkview from both the device pairs and uploads to an SFTP server defind by environment variables
it then gathers the state of all the VIPs and Pools from both device pairs and stores the files locally
It stores the state of the active volumes from both devices
it identifies the active device and saves the running config and does a verify load to check for config errors
it then proceeds to find the standby device and install the image on a inactive volume
once installation of image is complete it proceeds to reboot to volume with new image
once the device is up and the mcpd is up, it checks the state of vips/pools with the pre-check, if there are differences it stops the upgrade, if no differences are identified it proceeds with the next device
