copy files to BIG-IP
f5 BIG-IP LTM VE 11.4.0
I need a scripted/automated mechanism to copy some data-files onto BIP-IP. Because these files can potentially be quite large, I need to locate them somewhere in the Linux /shared partition.
I see two possibilities :
OPTION 1 : iControl API
Does anyone know if iControl provides functionality to copy files onto BIG-IP ?
OPTION 2 : establish a network share
The problem here is that I believe I'd need to install Samba or similar. But since F5 is a Linux appliance , I'm not sure how advisable it is to alter the disk image ( due to potential issues with impacting functionality, interfering with hotfixes & version updates, etc. ).
