BIG-IP :: vCMP Host & Local Images :: Not Showing Host Images on Guest
It looks like after v12, the ability to have Host and Local images went away? On v13 now -- it appears that my vCMP guests can only see Local image sources and not the host images... whereas prior to upgrade, they could see both. In the GUI under System -> Software Management -> Image List. I only see Local images. Via CLI, my guest /shared/images is empty, but they are present in that path on the host. Is there a way to get this back? According to the documentation, "BIG-IP® software images that are stored and managed on the vCMP® host are available for vCMP guests to install. The vCMP host presents a list of those images within each guest for guest administrators to use as needed.... All ISO images that the host administrator has imported into the host's /shared/images folder automatically appear on each guest as available for installation." ... but that does not seem to be the case for me. word@(das-guest)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Standby)(/Common)(tmos) list sys software image word@(das-guest)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Standby)(/Common)(tmos) word@(das-guest)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Standby)(/Common)(tmos) list sys software block-device-image word@(das-guest)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Standby)(/Common)(tmos) word@(das-host)(cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) list sys software image sys software image BIGIP-13.1.1.2-0.0.4.iso { -- trimmed -- version 13.1.1.2 } sys software image BIGIP-14.1.0-0.0.116.iso { -- trimmed -- version 14.1.0 } word@(das-host)(cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) It changed when I went from 12 to 13. Thanks in advance.
ASM Blocking Image Uploads
Hello We have a Rest API using JSON which accepts an image as part of the payload. The image is Base64 Encoded and generally works well however we have had some instances where the Base64 encoding contains a string that the ASM believes is an attack and blocks the payload. I have on a couple of these disabled the signature on the specific JSON profile however I would prefer not to have to do this. I was thinking of asking our Developers to consider a change to the API to accept the image as a file upload rather than Base64 Encoding it into the JSON payload. We control both the Client and Server side of the connection so I do not have to wait for clients to make changes to the API. There is also a self diagnostic Rest Service that takes debug information in and this too also experiences blocks on occasions, again I was thinking this too should be a file upload rather than a post of JSON formatted (the JSON is not always very well formatted due to the data within). Has anyone got any other suggestions that would help resolve this in a more simplistic way. James
vCMP image upgrade
Hello, I have been tasked to updgrade the all our cVMP hosts with a new image and hotfix. I have been uploading the images to the main host by scp (-> /shared/images). This way the file gets transferred quick and easy compared to the GUI. Is there a way to do this with the vCMP hosts as well, insted of using the GUI? Regards, VictorPartition Issues v11.3
