Re-discover BIG-IP devices and re-import services
If you
upgrade or make a change directly on a managed BIG-IP device (which is not recommended),
you must re-discover and re-import services for that device so BIG-IQ Centralized
Management has the most current configuration for that device.
You cannot re-import SSLO configurations from discovered
BIG-IP devices.
- At the top of the screen, clickDevices.
- ClickBIG-IP DEVICES.
- Select the check box next to the device you want to rediscover and reimport services for.
- Click theMorebutton and selectRe-discover and Re-importWhen importing a BIG-IP device's services, you must resolve any conflicts found between the BIG-IP device's working configuration and the objects in the BIG-IQ working configuration using one of the following methods:
- Stop importing the services with the conflicts. Resolve each conflict individually on the BIG-IP device'sServicesscreen. Continue importing services after you address the conflicts.
- For the LTM service configuration only: If you encounter LTM configuration conflicts, you can place the device in a silo, continue to discover other BIG-IP devices and later, go back to address the LTM service's conflict(s) for that BIG-IP device. After you address the conflicts, you can re-add the BIG-IP device and discover and import the LTM service (as well as any other licensed services).The option to place a BIG-IP device with a conflict in a silo to address the conflict later is available only for the LTM service. For all other services, you cannot use a silo to address conflicts. For information about managing conflicts from a silo, refer to theBIG-IQ: Using Silos to Resolve LTM Object Conflicts implementationonsupport.askf5.com.
- Use a BIG-IQ conflict resolution policy to automatically treat all configuration object conflicts the same way if a difference is found.
- Select a conflict resolution policy option for each type of object.
- If you want to save a snapshot of the BIG-IP device's configuration before importing their services, select theCreate a snapshot of the current configuration before importingcheck box.
- Click theCreatebutton.
Once the services are re-discovered and re-imported, you can manage these BIG-IP devices.
