Upgrade Verification - CLI tips and tricks
I mentioned recently in a conversation that I use to use the CLI to generate a snapshot of the bigip run state for pre/post comparison after an upgrade. By accident, I ran across these scripts today so here they are for your enjoyment. They are circa big-ip v12 so update as needed, feel free to post updated versions in the reply and i will tick them as the answer even. Pre-Change (Now supports partitions) # tmsh -c "cd /; show ltm virtual recursive" | awk '/Ltm::Virtual/ { printf $NF } /(Availability|State)/ { printf ":"$NF } /Reason/ { print ":"$NF} ' > bigip-virtual-state.pre # tmsh -c "cd /; show ltm pool recursive" | awk '/Ltm::Pool/ { printf $NF } /(Availability|State)/ { printf ":"$NF } /Reason/ { print ":"$NF} ' > bigip-pool-state.pre Post Change # tmsh -c "cd /; show ltm virtual recursive" | awk '/Ltm::Virtual/ { printf $NF } /(Availability|State)/ { printf ":"$NF } /Reason/ { print ":"$NF} ' > bigip-virtual-state.post # tmsh -c "cd /; show ltm pool recursive" | awk '/Ltm::Pool/ { printf $NF } /(Availability|State)/ { printf ":"$NF } /Reason/ { print ":"$NF} ' > bigip-pool-state.post Comparison # diff bigip-virtual-state.pre bigip-virtual-state.post # diff bigip-pool-state.pre bigip-pool-state.post
