Where is folder Common located?

When I am logged in our F5 big IP through cli ssl connection I cannot find folder /Common. There is same situation when I log in with WinSCP which has graphical browsing capabilities. So, where is that folder located and if it is visible by user with admin privileges? We have 12.1.3. big ip version. Thanks.

  • What exactly you are looking? By default all the configuration store in /Common partitions untill its(partitions) not specified.

    I.e

    /config/partitions
    --> here partition name could be Common or any thing..

    By default bigip configuration store inside

    /config
    directory, i.e bigip.conf, bigip_base.conf, etc.

    Let us know if any specific configuration you are looking...

    Cheers..

      Hi, Thank you for response. Here is what I have when go to /config/partitions directory:

       

      [root@bnk-ss-waf01:ModuleNotLicensed:Active:Standalone] partitions ls -l total 0 [root@bnk-ss-waf01:ModuleNotLicensed:Active:Standalone] partitions

       

      So, does /Common folder exist or not? I cannot find it in my F5 filesystem. Or maybe partition where is /config folder is mounted is named "common"?

       

      Best regards, Drasko

      So, does /Common folder exist on F5 or not?

      • Not exist
        /Common
        folder

      I cannot find it in my F5 filesystem.

      • By default all the F5 configuration store in

        /config
        folder, until partition not defined.

        i.e ltm snatpool /Common/abc-sb-devcentral

      Or maybe partition where is /config folder is mounted is named "common"?

      • May be but never seen article on this..
  • All partitions files except Common are stored in /config/partitions

     

    Common partition files are stored in /config root directory

     

  • Also, you can find useful 'Common' files directly accessing /Config/filestore/files_d/Common_d/

    Hi all,

     

    Thank you for responses it was about my misunderstanding of F5 administrative partitions. I by mistake did not make differences between classic linux partitions and F5 administrative partitions, I assumed it as same thing. Now I caught what is F5 admin partition and what is common partition, is is not folder, it is about F5 configuration entity.
