cat bigip.conf not such file or directory

Try either using the 'root' credentials in NCM or editing the template to specify /config/bigip.conf.

Hi SamueIB, Thanks for your replay,

but I don't know how to specify /config path in template file,

can you show me the detail command line? following are my lines in current template.

<Configuration-Management Device="F5 Devices" SystemOID="1.3.6.1.4.1.3375">
<Commands>
  <Command Name="MenuBased" Value="false"/>
  <Command Name="VirtualPrompt" Value="PDM-E10-1"/>
  <Command Name="RESET" Value=""/>
                <Command Name="EnterConfigMode" Value=""/>
  <Command Name="ExitConfigMode" Value=""/>
  <Command Name="Startup" Value="bigip_base.conf"/>
  <Command Name="Running" Value="bigip.conf"/>
  <Command Name="DownloadConfig" Value="cat ${ConfigType}"/>
                <Command Name="UploadConfig" Value=""/>
  <Command Name="EraseConfig" Value=""/>
  <Command Name="SaveConfig" Value=""/>
  <Command Name="Version" Value="bigpipe version${CRLF}"/>
</Commands>
</Configuration-Management>

The listed template works great, but I'd like to use NCM to generate a ucs config file and download that config as the running config. So far, no luck. I've even worked with an F5 engineer at my location.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

What about setting CRON on the F5 to run this script right before NCM goes to download the "running" config.

b config save /config.ucs

Would that work?

I thnik this is another request for out-of-box support for BigIP F5. Orion should support BigIP OoB for NPM and NCM. There are lots of requests for BigIP.

By the way F5 config logic is different from Cisco. It may not possible to backup F5 config with NCM.
