LTM BIG-IP Virtual Edition - Compute and Storage Limitations? Increase vCPUs?

Hello

 

LTM BIG-IP Virtual Edition - Version 13.0.0

 

I am looking to deploy (and potentially upgrade) some virtual BIG-IP's storage and compute resource in a lab environment, and was wondering if somebody can clarify on the below?

 

  • Maximum upgrade spec potential for this model/hypervisor and any limitations/caveats?
  • How do you assign a TMM process per vCPU? – Is this done automatically when adding vCPU’s?
  • Do you also need to extend any type of licensing to increase TMM processes/compute & storage?

This is across the board, however I am specifically looking at ESXI hypervisor.

 

Many thanks in advance.

    this table shows what is possible for the different througputs: https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K14810

     

    next to that you have the memory overview in the release notes that explain which modules you can run

    automatically, but max number of vCPU's limited by license.

     

    • Do you also need to extend any type of licensing to increase TMM processes/compute & storage?

    see first link, it shows the limits, it is coupled with the throughput license.
