BigDB Setting Persistence

Hi all, I believe it used to be the case that an upgrade (and possibly hotfix install) would remove any custom user-defined BigDB settings. Is that still the case? I suspect not as some settings end up in the bigip_sys.conf file but would like to confirm. Thanks

  • Hey Steve,

     

     

    All custom DB settings should be preserved during an upgrade now. You could test your upgrade on a VE and do a diff of the db settings to confirm. If there are any missing settings, it should be considered a bug.

     

     

    And I saw you updated your book. I'm looking forward to finding some time to read through the updates!

  • Thanks Aaron ,what version did that change in please? Also, are they rolled forward with configs between partitions (I guess yes).

     

     

    Cool (and thanks for buying). I've added quite a bit, a fair bit is just reference material but lots of corrections and other bits; it's a much better book for it. The LTM book is due very soon too, exciting times.
