Setting up F5 Guided
Configuration for SSL Orchestrator
Overview: Setting up F5 Guided Configuration for SSL
Orchestrator
If you do not have an existing SSL Orchestrator add-on license, or a
previous version of SSL Orchestrator installed, then to install the F5 Guided Configuration for
SSL Orchestrator 17.0.0.1-10.1 download the image from downloads.f5.com.
For complete step-by-step installation instructions, see the
BIG-IP
Systems: Upgrading Software
guide. The F5 Guided Configuration for SSL Orchestrator 10.1
image is packaged with the F5 BIG-IP 17.0.0.1 image.Refer to the Update or Upgrade the F5 SSL
Orchestrator chapter in the
BIG-IP update and upgrade
guide, if you have an existing add-on license or want to upgrade to the newest version of SSL
Orchestrator. These procedures walk you through the detailed installation and upgrade details of
existing SSL Orchestrator applications and RPMs before installing the new ISO image. If you are upgrading from SSL Orchestrator version 13.x.x or 14.0.x (known
as the forklift upgrade), you must follow the recommended upgrade procedure to undeploy your
previous SSL Orchestrator deployments. This procedure includes uninstalling your previous version
of the application. If these steps are not followed, further manual steps are required to reset
your environment and undeploy the previous version found in the
F5
Guided Configuration for SSL Orchestrator: Upgrade Recovery
guide.These upgrade steps are required since in some cases previously deployed SSL
Orchestrator configurations cannot be rolled forward or imported into the new version of SSL
Orchestrator. Following one of the recommended upgrade procedures will assist you in preparing
your system for a clean installation.
If you are implementing a high
availability environment for SSL Orchestrator, refer to the Update or Upgrade the F5 SSL Orchestrator chapter in the
BIG-IP update and upgrade
guide for more information.After upgrading SSL Orchestrator from version 5.x, 6.x, or 7.x, one or
more existing configurations may show an error due to inconsistent egress information. For
example, if the System Setting in version 7.0 had an egress setting of IPv4 while the topology
setting was IPv6, the IPv6 topology’s egress setting will show an error after the upgrade. To
fix, locate the error(s) and update the configuration with the correct egress information (such
as egress gateway pool or SNAT settings) and redeploy.
Refer to the F5 SSL
Orchestrator Deployment guide for details on managing and creating topologies and
services.
Setting up F5 Guided Configuration for SSL Orchestrator logs
settings
The SSL Orchestrator Settings option in the Logs menu can be used to enable
logging for selected facilities at various levels of severity to describe the system
messages. Facilities describe the specific element of the system generating the message:
Per-Request Policy, FTP, IMAP, POP3, SMTPS, SSL Orchestrator Generic.
Each available level describes the severity of the message and are listed in order of the
severity of the messages they handle. Generally, higher levels contain all the messages
for lower levels. For example, the Alert level will generally also report all messages
from the Emergency level, and the Debug level will generally also report all messages
for all levels.

Orchestrator logs settings with specific severity levels.
