BIG-IP : tmsh script to retrieve bigip.conf
F5 BIG-IP Virtual Edition v11.4.1 (Build 635.0) LTM on ESXi
I need a scheduled automated solution to retrieve bigip.conf from the active device in an HA pair.
Is this realistic with via a cron job + tmsh script ?
How simple is this ? What about security concerns ?
Or is it better to implement within an app via iControl API ?
Or is another backup solution better advised ?
According to this support doc :
I should be able to ssh to the device, login, and save the current config with this command :
tmsh sys save config
but I receive error :
Syntax Error: unexpected argument save
