I can't create a virtual server on f5

[Jawad]

Hello everyone ,

I set up a virtual version of big IP appliance on my virtual machine VMware workstation , and then thanks to Mozilla I was able to create nodes and a pool, but when I tried creating a virtual servers , it doesn't respond , no matter how long I wait , I just can't get to the page where I create a virtual servers , it keeps loading , please help , I really need this

Can you try reloading VM instance under VMware work station?

Hope it helps!

Thank you for your answer , i don​'t know how to do that .

If you mean rebootg the big ip appliance Virtual image , then I've tried that , when it shuts down , my session is disconnected, and when it comes back, nothing changes

Please try one thing, through cli try to configure Virtual Server using below command under TMSH.

create ltm virtual <vs name> destination <ip:port> pool <pool name> ip-protocol tcp source-address-translation { type automap }

Please check if you are able to create and see it using 'show ltm virtual-address x.x.x.x' under tmsh. If you are able to see, then try to change browser for accessing WebUI.

Hope it helps!

I tried chrome rather than mozilla , it didnt solve the problem, i also tried the commands you gave me , i logged in as root from my VM and then i typed tmsh and then your command , but this is what it says:

Syntax Error: "<10.10.10.10:80>" ​contains invalid or ambiguous service 80>

I removed the <> around the address and now this is what they respond :

01070088:3: the requested object name (/Common/HTTP_vs> is invalid

[Jawad]

I removed all the <> and it worked , can you know how i can create it from the graphic page ?​

[Mayur_Sutare]

The below command should work to create VS through cli.

 create ltm virtual TEST_VS destination 10.10.10.10:80 pool TEST_POOL source-address-translation { TYpe automap }

Can you please confirm image version of VM that you are using?

Hmmm... Can you confirm how much memory you provisioned for this Virtual machine, and whether LTM is fully licensed and provisioned?

[Jawad]

I provisioned 2 Mb of memory for my virtual machine , and LTM is fully licensed and provisoned , im following a tutorial , liteally , and he doesnt face any problem, when i do ​

[consul_2019 · Accepted solution]

I guess you mean 2GB.. I am running a Virtual machine on version 15, with LTM only and have 4GB provisioned. Try that and let me know..
