Summary

This plug-in includes steps that work with nodes and pools in the F5 BIG-IP family of products. The plug-in communicates with the F5 BIG-IP systems by using the iControl API. 

To add the F5 BIG-IP plug-in steps to processes, click Infrastructure > Load Balancing > F5 in the step palette of the process editor. 

Compatibility

The DevOps Deploy automation plug-in for F5 BIG-IP works with all versions of F5 BIG-IP that support version 11.1 of the iControl Java client. Version 11.1 of the iControl Java client is included with the plug-in. To use the plug-in with newer versions of F5 products, in the hidden iControl Jar Location property specify the complete path to the iControl Java client that is installed on your F5 server. If you have not yet upgraded to F5 BIG-IP version 11.0 or greater, use version 10 or version 8 of the plugin. 

This plug-in is compatible with agents running on operating systems that are supported by both Deploy and the iControl Java client. This plug-in does not support agents running on z/OS. 

Installation

See  Installing plug-ins in HCL Deploy for installing and removing plug-ins. 

Version History

 

Version Description
24
  • Fixed APAR PH05331 - Added javamail dependencies jars.
  • Fixed - "UNABLE TO FIND REQUIRED CLASSES" error.
23
  • Added timeout property to Steps : Enable node, confirm enabled node, confirm disabled node.
22
  • The Enable Pool Members step with Force Online checkbox selected would fail if the monitors did not start up quickly.
21
  • Fixed APAR PI99227 Continued - Disable Pool Members step now correctly identifies that the Pool Member is in an offline state.
  • Added the Force Online checkbox to the Enable Pool Member step to set a Pool Member to an online state.
  • RFE 97454 - Added Enable Node Monitors checkbox to the Enable Node step.
20
  • Fixed APAR PI99227The Force Offline checkbox in the Disable Pool Members step will immediately closes all connections to pool members.
19
  • Fixed APAR PI93685Adds partition name to the Disable Pool Member steps check connection logic.
18
  • Added check that confirms the total number of Node Names and Node Ports specified matches.
17
  • Support property file encryption.
16
  • Adds functionality for iRules and Data Groups.
15
  • Moved four class files into their own class package and folder. Create Node step now uses the timeout property instead of an arbitrary timer.
14
  • Supports only F5 BIG-IP Versions 11 and later.
  • Nodes must now be referenced by name, not by IP address.
  • Added the following steps: Create Node, Delete Node, and Confirm Disabled Node.
  • You can now create, delete, enable, and disable multiple pool members and nodes in a single step.
  • Updated step names and descriptions to correspond to their F5 names.
  • Removed functions that were deprecated in F5 v11.0.0.
13
  • Refactored F5Helper classes into four classes. Implemented the modification of multiple pools and nodes at once. Implemented "create node" and "delete node" steps. Renamed method names to align with F5 names.
12
  • Deprecated methods removed
11
  • Fixed inability to enable or disable nodes in pools 4
10
  • Fixed APAR PI35342 - compatibility defect with IBM Urbancode Deploy version 6.1.0.4 and later.
9
  • Added the ability for all steps to override the iControl jar location.
8
  • The "disable node in pool" step now has an option to force the node offline (for local pools). Running "enable node in pool" will always bring the node offline.
7
  • Version 7 adds a step to check if a node is up (for local load balancers). The Disable node in all pools step now has a force option and a bailout option on waiting for connections to close. Many steps now have the ability to specify partitions.
6
  • Installing this plugin will give you access to the steps listed below. Version 6 added a feature to Disable node in all pools step to wait for all connections to be closed to the node before finishing the step.
5
  • Installing this plugin will give you access to the steps listed below. Version 5 added Enable/Disable node in all pools.
4
  • Installing this plugin will give you access to the steps listed below. These steps can be used when designing a component process.

 

Truststore file does not exist 

  • When running plug-in steps on the Windows operating system, the step can fail and generate a stack trace similar to the following text: 
  • java.net.SocketException: java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: Error constructing implementation (algorithm: Default, provider: IBMJSSE2, class: com.ibm.jsse2.ec) … java.lang.Exception: Truststore file does not exist:
    C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile.keystore
  • This can occur because F5 BIG-IP hardcodes the location of the .keystore file to the home directory of the local system. If you run the agent as a Windows Service, the Truststore file does not exist message can be displayed when you run a plug-in step. To work around this behavior, create a .keystore file in the home directory of the local system (the agent computer). 
  • On the agent computer, open a command prompt. 
  • Navigate to the following directory: C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile 
  • Run the following command: keytool -genkey -keystore .keystore 
  • Complete the steps in the keystore generation wizard. 
  • Confirm that a .keystore file exists in the following directory:
    C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile
  • You can now run the F5 BIG-IP step to completion.
