Supporting HA data synchronization for BIG-IP frameworks: MCP and REST Framework
The
ha-sync
script supports HA data synchronization for the
following BIG-IP frameworks: MCP and REST Framework.Unless specifically setting the HA sync target via the
--target
(or
-t
) option parameter, the ha-sync
script will
perform HA synchronization for all supported platforms. By default, the order of HA
synchronization is: * MCP config-sync * REST framework gossip/sync.The order of the HA sync targets can be altered via the
--target
(or
-t
) option parameter, for
example:ha-sync -H 10.192.228.78 -t rest mcp
where the HA sync targets are executed in the order specified with the
-t
option parameter.MCP
By default, the MCP HA configuration-sync is included in the default HA sync
workflow by the
ha-sync
script. Otherwise it can be specified (or
singled out) with the --target mcp
(or -t mcp
) option
parameter of the ha-sync
script, for
example:ha-sync -H 10.192.228.78 -t mcp
Unless the
--force
(or -f
) option is specified, the
ha-sync
would perform an incremental MCP config-sync. With the
--force
(or -f
) option a full config-sync is
performed. Depending on use case scenarios and BIG-IP configurations, one or the other
could be invoked. A full config-sync would perhaps take considerably longer to
complete.The default HA device group name assumed in the MCP config-sync is
HA_GROUP
. This can be specified via the
--devicegroup
(or -D
) option parameter.REST Framework
By default, the REST Framework gossip/sync is included in the default HA
sync workflow by the
ha-sync
script. Otherwise it can be specified (or
singled out) with the --target rest
(or -t rest
)
option parameter of the ha-sync
script, for
example:ha-sync -H 10.192.228.78 -t rest
When the
--force
(or -f
) option is specified, the
ha-sync
script also copies the REST Framework storage from the
local device to the remote HA peer.
