Automated LB Configuration for WebSphere Deployments using Ansible
Hey all,
I'm building a cloud environment where my customers will use our Cloud Management Platform to provision their WebSphere clusters in our on-premise virtualisation environment. This will use the CMP automation as well as Ansible to automate the delivery.
I am mapping the IBM WebSphere 8 (BIG-IP v11.2: LTM, ASM) deployment guide to the available Ansible modules to automatically configure the F5 during deployment. All is good except for a couple of virtual server configuration settings. These settings are: 1) Type - Default is standard but needs to be set to Forwarding, and 2) Protocol - Default is set to TCP but needs to be set to All Protocols.
Can someone please help me to understand how these settings can be set using the available Ansible modules. I'm guessing that I might be able to accomplish this with pre-created profiles or policies?
Thank you for your help.
