A way to change the Virtual Server name or a SSL Cert name

Hello all,

 

I am looking to see if there a way to change the Virtual Server name or a SSL Cert name. I created a Vitual Server then asked to change the name. I know I can delete it and re-create it, but wondered if I can just rename it.

 

Thanks all!

  • Changes to the virtual server name is apparently provided as an 'early access' function in 11.6.0:

        General Functionality
    Object move and rename (early access)
    
    This release provides early access to the feature that enables move/rename of specific BIG-IP object types, such as virtual servers, virtual addresses, pools (implicitly moves pool members), nodes, monitors, profiles, iRules, iApps, device names, self IP addresses, iCall, and folders. Note that this functionality is not provided for VLANs or Partitions.
    
  • That's correct. In the meantime you have to manually edit the bigip.conf. Before doing so though, 1) make a copy of the config, and 2) make sure you replace every instance of that named object in the config. Save it and then reload the config.
