    Hello Ashish

     

    1) awk '{ print $3 }' = separate the previous output by spaces and take the third value.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AWK

    2) xargs -l {} = take the stdin (by line) and use it in the next command when characters '{}' are shown.

    BTW, I would appreciate if you mark my answer as "the best" or give me some upvote.

     

    KR,

    Dario.

Hello.

You can do it in four simple steps

1) Capture all VS configured in '/Common' partition

# tmsh list ltm virtual one-line | awk '{ print $3 }' > output.txt

2) Manually remove from 'output.txt' those VS that you don't want to modify

3) Change the HTTP profile in all VS in that list

# cat output.txt | xargs -I {} tmsh modify ltm virtual {} profiles add { <new_http_profile> } profiles delete { <current_http_profile> }

4) Save config from running-config to startup-config

# tmsh save sys config

KR,

Dario.
