Renumbering networks and F5 Load Balancers
So our company got aquired a while back. And as life goes all our RFC 1918 IP space use conflicts with our new Overlords. So we have to renumber everything. Our production F5 currently have 783 entries for nodes, virtual servers, rules and selfIPs which need to change.
A mass update would be nice were we could stop both load balancers in the HA setup, manual edit the config files and reboot. But the last time we tried this, it did not work very well due to the HA.
Business is also asking to reprogram only portions at a time, so a mass update is unfortunatly out.
So now I am looking at suggestions how to do this. I could try and throw something together with perl/expect which uses ssh and tmsh. How about using perl SOAP? Suggestions?
