Clustering iWorkflow
hi, i have a problem with putting 3 iworkflow devices in Cluster. The devices are clean, with no data on. Every i tried to fullfill the " ip, admin user , password " fields it shows me a prompt : "You must update the device's framework before you can manage it". Any suggestions?Testing network bandwidth with and without F5 connection.
I wanted to test network bandwidth using iperf tool with and without F5 connection. Without F5 is straightforward. With F5 : I added the node I wanted to test, Created a Pool with service port for iperf (5201 in my case) and the node that I added, Selected the icmp for health monitoring, Created the VIP with the same service port and selected the pool that I created for iperf. But when I tested using the VIP the client failed to connect to the server. I'm a newbie to F5. Not sure what I am missing. Please help!
iWorkflow Application Service unhealthy after deploying applications on tenant GUI
Hello Nathan, our customer has some 50 F5s (incl vCMPs) in their datacenters and are looking for ways to bulk provision/automate services deployment. Their ultimate vision is orchestration but they are not ready yet. So we're looking for some kind of intermediate automation solution. And recently I've been hearing about F5 iWorkflow and going through your 101 and 201 series, good stuff by the way. I managed to get eval F5-BIG-VE-BT-1G-V13-LIC (running 11.6.1 HF1) and iWorkflow VE POC-10 (running 2.0.2 build 0.0.10077). All went well until after deploying applications on tenant GUI they are all getting status: "Application Service unhealthy: unable to retrieve health status from device, No resources to place the app". This happens despite of having connectivity to the BIG-IP VE (using BIG-IP connector). I'm not quite sure if the tenant's user should also be existed in the F5, so I added this user but it didn't make any different. These log entries keep appearing on restjavad.0.log, might be related?

Unable to grant license key: Error 51133, F5 registration key is not compatible with the detected platform - This platform, "BIG-IQ Pool"
Hi Team, Where doing an integration with iWorkflow Version 2.0.2 with VMWare NSX Manager. During activation of Cloud and Services License, we received an error message. "Unable to grant license key: Error 51133, F5 registration key is not compatible with the detected platform - This platform, "BIG-IQ Pool", cannot be activated with this registration key "KSJSRIR-HRDUMQR". What kind of license do we need for Cloud and services licenses. Regards, GoldzBigiq 6.0 or ansible
We've decided to do orchestration&automation of deployment of creation/modify/delete of virtual services, and we were using iWorkflow. Since F5 does not support anymore iworkflow we are about going to Bigiq 6.0 but we have still the doubt of ANSIBLE since we want to orchestrate other not F5 networking devices.
