BIGIQ ADC Configuration settings for LTMs causing IE memory to explode.

I have about 50 devices configured on the BIGIQ. I went in and started mofiding the settings on the BIGIQ to Manage ADC Configuration for each device. As I did, the VIPs, Nodes, Pools, Irules started populating in the browser. The problem is that after about 10 devices, IE started locking up on me. I opened task manager and noticed that the memory IE was using was over 600mb. It appears that the list of VIPs, etc are all trying to download into IE as Im updating the devices and IE cant handle that much information.

 

Questions:

 

  1. Is this the expected behavior for the BIGIQ display, or should it be 'paging' the results. And by paging, I mean querying 20 or so at a time and then updating instead of downloading all data at once.

     

  2. Since I have only made it through about 10 devices and have another 40 to go, is there a way to modify the setting to tell the BigIQ to manage the ADC Configuration for the ltms via shell or TMSH? Is this configuration stored in a xml file or mysql, something I could edit remotely upload back to the device via scp?

    The only other option for this would be the API.

     

    The basic steps there: Get the list of devices: restcurl -u admin:admin -X GET /mgmt/shared/resolver/device-groups/cm-autodeploy-group-manager-autodeployment/devices/

     

    change the "dmaConfigPathScope" property to "full" for each device.

     

    an example: restcurl -u admin:admin -X PATCH /mgmt/shared/resolver/device-groups/cm-autodeploy-group-manager-autodeployment/devices/b5f7d7e4-6ce7-4d9a-bd1f-45b0fca03b5d -d '{"properties": {"platform": "Z100", "regKeyLink": "", "dmaConfigPathScope": "full", "isSoapProxyEnabled": true, "isTmshProxyEnabled": false, "shared:resolver:device-groups:discoverer": "66ed9a23-e1bb-4aaf-a7a3-d168c32509b7", "isRestProxyEnabled": true, "mgmtIpAddress": "172.24.98.150", "mgmtMacAddress": "00:50:56:92:41:32", "dmaFinished": true}}'
