BIGI LTM VE qcow2 image - Shared directory too small for upgrade
We are in the process of migrating our servers from BIGIP 11.3 to 11.6. I am trying a test upgrade with the BIGIP-11.3.0.39.0.qcow2 image. However, the /shared directory is too small to hold the 11.6 image (over 1GB) for the upgrade procedure.

From 11.5 the tmsh modify sys disk directory command is available, but I haven't found anything for 11.3. Thanks for any help you can offer. Steve374Views0likes1CommentSyslog v11 modification
Hi - I want to only send syslog levels, notice through emergency, but just want notice messages that match "monitor status".

I have been having difficulties with this issue for some time and I am hoping that someone can shed some light on it. All information in this post will be from my test bed environment, however the same issue is occurring in our live development environment. We are running 11.5.1 HF5 and so far I have been able to get Kerberos authentication working in order to access my published Citrix Applications with APM proxying all ICA traffic and replacing the Citrix Web Interface. The issue comes in when once a published app is launch, for example Notepad, I am then unable to access any mapped drives or other CIFS-Windows shares using Kerberos and instead I am asked for my Username and Password. I have been mostly following this thread to get to where I currently am as I have a similar scenario: F5 BigIP LTM 6900 In my testbed I have one Domain Controller, one server called XML1 which is my XenApp server and one server called WB1 which is where I had the Citrix Web Interface when I was trying pass-through authentication along with where I created the shared folder I am trying access through my Citrix apps. All servers are Windows 2008 R2, domain level is set to 2003. Our clients are not joined to the domain but I have a valid method of locating the right user using a APM AD query.

Hi I am a newbie to F5 and iRule. One of our requirement is the url re-direction as below www.ramkar.com/startup ==> www.ramkar.com/login I did researched this forum and framed the following 2 iRules: iRule-1 when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [string tolower [HTTP::path]] equals "/login" || [string tolower [HTTP::path]] equals "/startup" } { HTTP::uri "/login" } } iRule-2 when HTTP_REQUEST { if { ([HTTP::host] equals "www.ramkar.com") and ([HTTP::uri] ends_with "/startup") } { HTTP::redirect https://www.ramkar.com/login } } The type of our VIP( was "Performance Layer 4". When checked with our IT and Network Team, they suggested to change the type to "Performance HTTP" as iRules will not work with "Performance Layer 4" type. We did this change in F5 for the VIP: www.ramkar.com. But when we tried to apply the irule-1, we are getting the error: "01070394:3:HTTP_REQUEST event in rule (ramkar) requires an associated HTTP or ICAP profile on the virtual server (/blah/blah/" Can any one please help me apply any one of these iRules in F5. Please note that our Network Team advised that we should not apply Standard or HTTP profile to this F5 as it will slowdown the PROD environment. Any help is greatly appreciated -- K.Ramesh Karthik.338Views0likes2CommentsVCMP space disk allocation explanations

Disk space allocation varies from release to release. For example, on my v10.2.4 box, I have: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/vg--db--sda-set.2.root 248M 130M 106M 56% / /dev/mapper/vg--db--sda-set.2._usr 1.4G 1.1G 244M 82% /usr On a v11.2/3 box, I have: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/vg--db--sda-set.3.root 287M 191M 82M 70% / /dev/mapper/vg--db--sda-set.3._usr 2.0G 1.6G 380M 81% /usr I wonder if sizes have changed/increased in v11.4 and v11.5?267Views0likes2CommentsWhat is hotfix and error while installing a hotfix via ICONTROL?

Using the "Hosted Content" feature of the APM, I have uploaded some PHP files that allow me to generate Secure URLs pointing to our CDN hosted downloads. However, when I created a new Webtop Link (pointing to the PHP file) the PHP file shows up as text in the browser. When I click the webtop link, I want it to run the code and launch the secure URL. How do I get this PHP code to run? Code is posted below. (The hosted content includes another file cdn_secure.php that has the function called in the script.) I also tried a portal link, but it downloaded the PHP file instead of running it. This should be easy, right?437Views0likes4Comments
