Feature Request: CLI-only changes and pushing to entire enterprise
Hello DevCentral Community, I'm generally new to BIG-IQ, first of all, so please excuse me if this exists and I haven't found it yet. I have 8 HA pairs so total 16 BIG-IP virtual instances, and we're evaluating BIG-IQ to manage our environment. Something that would really help us out would be the ability to make changes to the configuration you'd normally have to do via the command line such as ciphers and custom alerts. In addition, the ability to push those changes to all devices I have discovered and managed. If this feature exists, please enlighten me, but I have not found it at this point. Thank you.Basic Crontab setup
I can't seem to get my bigip to run a simple cron. Below is the script run config_sync_script.py !/usr/bin/python import os failover_status = os.popen("b failover show").read().split()[1] sync_status = os.popen('tmsh show sys config-sync | grep "Status"').read().split()[1] if failover_status == 'active' and sync_status == '1': os.system('tmsh run sys config-sync') config ls -la | grep config_sync_script.py -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 274 Aug 13 09:06 config_sync_script.py crontab -l Active] config crontab -l cron tab for root 1-59/30 * * * * /usr/bin/diskmonitor 18 9 * * * /config/config_sync_script.py The time just matches a time I was working on it. In monitoring the cron log nothing happens and the script never seems to run. What am I missing?
Can I clear BIG-IQ Configuration after using?
When I setup BIG-IQ 5.3.0 initially, I added a LTM-test. After evaluation, I removed the LTM-test for adding only LTM-prod. But some section in Configuration is not clean like after initial-setup. After adding the LTM-prod, something from LTM-test is still remain in Configuration. Can I clear all in Configuration like initial-setup? not clean (want to delete child elements): Profiles iRules Monitor Certificate Management/Certificates & Keys clean: Virtual Servers Pools NodesCannot run configuration utility through serial console port
Hi all, I am trying to set the management IP address to a 2100 blade through the serial console port. The blade is part of a BigIP VIPRIOM 2400 platform and it consists on just one 2100 blade. I connect to the COM1 successfully and the blade shows me the AOM menu (blade baud setting, blade info, blade reseting, ...) if I press ESC (. The problem is the configuration utility doesn't run when I introduce config on the terminal (putty in my case). I don't even get anything when I press a button. The F5 just replies to ESC ( and nothing else. My department got this VIPRIOM from another department that made use of it. I am wondering if they could removed the config utility. In this case, is there a way to reinstall the config utility to my F5 again or anyone suggest something else? thanks in advance!
Port LTM and GTM configuration from v10 to v11
Hi, we are migrating to the new F5 appliances from v10. What is the best method of porting our v10.2.4 configuration to v11.5.4? Most of of the solutions I have come across so far seem to apply to the cases when the upgrade is happening within the same appliance. Is there a native method of porting the existing configuration to v11.5 syntax? Thank youMove "complet" VS settings - TEST to PROD
Hello All, In our setup we are using TEST and PROD env. When we are developing a new VS many of profiles (like HTTP, SSL profiles, etc...) are customised and many other settings (like Policy, iRules, monitors ) are added as new to VS. I'd like to ask what's the best approach/method to move VS configuration from TEST F5 to PROD F5? I mean how to "move" entire VS configuration (including modified profiles and settings) from TEST to PROD? Thank you.
Config not loading after BIG-IP 11.1 -> 11.4 upgrade
Hi, Very new to BIG-IP, I've done LTM and APM training but you all know how it is, if you never use it you forget it! I'm trying to upgrade our BIG-IP 3600's (Active/Standby) from 11.1.0 HF4 to 11.4 HF3 (or latest). I've installed it into a new boot location, but when it boots it tells me the configuration hasn't loaded and may not be correct. I used cpcfg to the new boot location, and I also tried loading a .UCS file with the same issue. When I upload the .qkview file to iHealth from the standby device, the only relevant warning I can see is how the http profile has been removed from version 11.4. It says it should locate an alternative equivalent of the new replacement for http profiles in 11.4 but it appears it hasn't. We use the http profiles on our APM Virtual Servers for the SSL VPN connections. I now sure how to get past this now? Should I remove the http profile from the Virtual Servers before running cpcfg to the new boot location? But then how would/what profile should I apply to these in 11.4 version? Thanks
