Discover BIG-IP Device Service Cluster groups

You must add the BIG-IP devices configured in a DSC to the BIG-IQ system’s BIG-IP Device inventory before you can discover DSC groups.

All BIG-IP devices in a cluster must be running the same software version and the same settings for:

  • Pools
  • Traffic-groups
  • VLANs
  • Tunnels
  • Route domains

The BIG-IQ DSC Groups inventory screen shows you a centralized view specific to DSC clusters.

Note: The Cluster Display Name displays on this screen only for managed BIG-IP devices in a DSC.

Important: BIG-IQ supports up to 8 BIG-IP devices in a DSC.

  1. At the top of the screen, click Devices.

  2. On the left, click BIG-IP CLUSTERS > DSC groups.

  3. Click the Discover button.

  4. Select the devices in the Available list, and then click the right arrow to add them to the Selected list.

    This list is populated from the BIG-IP Device inventory list. If you can’t see all of the available devices listed, left-click the right bottom corner of the list and use your cursor to expand the dialog box.

  5. Click the Discover button.

The DSC Groups list refreshes to display the discovered DSC group.
