BIG-IQ Archive Error
Hello, We currently have a BIG-IQ that was successfully performing backups to the backup server until the server guys implemented some stricter SSH timeouts. From what I gather, the archive is failing because the BIG-IQ seems to open up the SCP connection before the backup finishes. Once the backup has finished it then proceeds to pass the username but the SSH session has timed out by that time. Does anyone know of a way to change the order in which the BIG-IQ does the backup, so change it from SSH -> Backup -> SSH credentials -> copy file to Backup -> SSH -> SSH credentials -> copy file to Backup?22Views0likes0CommentsRseries SCP OS to appliance from remote server
I'm new to rseries but I need to SCP an OS from a remote server onto the appliance via CLI. Server I am admining from holding OS only allows SCP file transfers out and https is not an option. What is the file path? From a admin linux box to r5600 i tried: "#scp <local F5OS.iso filename> admin@<r5600IPaddress>:/system/images/staging" "#scp <local F5OS.iso filename> admin@<r5600IPaddress>:/images/staging" "#scp <local F5OS.iso filename> admin@<r5600IPaddress>:/system/images/import/iso" "#scp <local F5OS.iso filename> admin@<r5600IPaddress>:/images/import/iso" Each time I get the response "Invalid pathname" https://techdocs.f5.com/en-us/f5os-a-1-5-0/f5-rseries-systems-administration-configuration/title-system-settings.html discusses it some but does not give me all of the information I need (or water it down enough for me). Any help is always apprecriatedSolved780Views0likes2CommentsBigIP VE (LTM) crashes when uploading iso's by SSH/SCP
Hi all I have an odd problem. There is a virtual machine (BigIP VE) with version 13.1.3.x with enough ressources (RAM, CPU, disk) which crashes when I try to upload an ISO for upgrading using SCP/SSH (not the WebGUI!). When I start the upload it takes a moment (it ranges from 10 to 35% progress) the VE crashes either completly or starts to act strangely (not login possible anymore, but the traffic is still running). I have to power off the VM and then power it on again to actually remedy the issue. We will have an extensive testing with the ESX team and checking the VE itself, but preliminary checks don't show any issues with storage (ESX wise or internally VE, there is enough space) or ressources (like CPU, RAM, etc.). There is a second VM with the same statistics and same version, just another location and another ESX farm, but that one doesn't have an issue. Beside the fact we certainly need to check more in depth with ESX, anyone an idea what I could check on the F5 side what might cause this? Thanks a lot493Views0likes2CommentsF5 Auto backup script for SCP for V10 and 11.
Hello Guys, I have tried looking for the subjected topic within DevCentral, but unfortunately that didn't help. (I must be doing something wrong for sure). By the way I couldn't find any script for SCP which can be use for version 10. My requirement is to craft a script for SCP server which executes on daily basis. The customer is having 2 separate clusters, one is running on v10, another on 11. Is there any script which I can use for my requirement? Thank you,736Views0likes23CommentsSCP not working anymore since upgrade to 12.1
Hi, I recently upgraded my Big-IP from 11.6 HF6 to 12.1 successfully. However, I am not able anymore to execute scp commands which I used to transfer my ucs backups remotely. Any attempt always end up with a "no hostkey alg" error. I tried many different things like regenerating rsa and dsa keys like I always do after an upgrade, but as of today have been unsuccessful... Any advice someone ? Thanks, Pascal.1.2KViews0likes7Commentscopying certs in /config/filestore/files_d/Common_d/certificate_d/
After copying a bunch of certs that I upload and created chains and profiles to another ltm in the same directory, the certs do no appear when I check in System ›› File Management : SSL Certificate List file directory on the target LTM. I restarted apache and tomcat as well big3d but no luck the files that I scp'ed over do no appear when navigating to the section in the web utitly. They do appear in the /config/filestore/files_d/Common_d/certificate_d/ directory on the targeted machine. Is there a reason why the certs do not appear ?439Views0likes2Comments
