BIG-IQ import command

Hello, I am referencing the following F5 article to try to set up the API call for device import (to follow discovery):

 

https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/BIGIQ.HowToSamples_import_ltm.ashx

 

The procedure calls for a POST to be run (/mgmt/cm/global/tasks/declare-mgmt-authority) which requires a 'cluster name' value as input to be sent in the body. We are unsure where to get cluster name from and the instructions are vague - is there a separate call to be made to derive this?

 

The article contains a GET call to retrieve device status, which appears to return cluster name among other data elements - however when we run that command against our system we don't see the value.

 

Thanks, Scott
