I have written an unreleased standalone utility which does this: "The F5 backup tool is an agent responsible for creating and collecting "user configuration sets" (UCS) files from BIG-IP devices. A UCS file is a backup archive containing BIG-IP configuration data that can be used to fully restore a device in the event of a failure or Return Materials Authorization (RMA) replacement."
I can see about adapting this into an Ansible module if there is demand for it. -M On Tue, May 19, 2015 at 12:34 AM, marco gregorio <[email protected]> wrote: > hello everyone, > I'd like to write a playbook which manages a bunch of F5-LTM network > balancers. > As far as I can see there are some plugins for automating pools creation: > http://docs.ansible.com/bigip_pool_member_module.html > > What I actually need is automating the creation of the UCS file (the F5 > complete configuration backup package), its movement to an FTP server and > exectute some other commands in tmsh shell, which is the native F5 shell. > In fact, F5 supports both bash-like commands and tmsh [argument 1] > [argument 2] > > Do I have any chance to do as I want to do by using Ansible? > I am totally new to Ansible, as I just installed it on RHEL box and I am > trying to figure out if it could be the solution to my project or whether I > have to get back to bash code with expect (which is bloody) > > Thank you in advance > > Marco > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Ansible Project" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/ansible-project/9c5a32b0-e226-4327-853a-e4178807c42a%40googlegroups.com > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/ansible-project/9c5a32b0-e226-4327-853a-e4178807c42a%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
