DESCRIPTION
You can use the universal component to configure a universal persistence profile for the BIG-IP(r) system.
With universal persistence you can write an expression that defines what to persist on in a packet. The
expression, written using the same expression syntax that you use in iRules(r), defines some sequence of bytes
to use as a session identifier.
A persistence profile is a profile that enables persistence when you assign the profile to a virtual server.
Using a persistence profile means that you do not have to write an iRule to implement a type of persistence.
You can either use the default profile, or create a custom profile based on the default.
EXAMPLES
list universal
Displays all universal persistence profiles.
create universal uni_persistence defaults-from universal
Creates a custom universal persistence profile named uni_persistence that inherits its settings from the
default universal persistence profile.
mv universal /Common/my_universal_profile to-folder /Common/my_folder
Moves a custom universal persistence profile named my_universal_profile to a folder named my_folder, where
my_folder has already been created and exists within /Common.
OPTIONS
app-service
Specifies the name of the application service to which the profile belongs. The default value is none.
Note: If the strict-updates option is enabled on the application service that owns the object, you cannot
modify or delete the profile. Only the application service can modify or delete the profile.
defaults-from
Specifies the existing profile from which the system imports settings for the new profile. The default
value is universal, the system default cookie persistence profile.
description
User defined description.
glob Displays the items that match the glob expression. See help glob for a description of glob expression
syntax.
match-across-pools
Specifies, when enabled, that the system can use any pool that contains this persistence record. The
default value is disabled.
match-across-services
Specifies, when enabled, that all persistent connections from a client IP address, which go to the same
virtual IP address, also go to the same node. The default value is disabled.
match-across-virtuals
Specifies, when enabled, that all persistent connections from the same client IP address go to the same
node. The default value is disabled.
mirror
Specifies whether the system mirrors persistence records to the high-availability peer. The default value
is disabled.
name Specifies a unique name for the component. This option is required for the commands create, delete, and
modify.
override-connection-limit
Specifies, when enabled, that the pool member connection limits are not enforced for persisted clients.
Per-virtual connection limits remain hard limits and are not disabled. The default value is disabled.
partition
Displays the administrative partition within which the component resides.
regex
Displays the items that match the regular expression. The regular expression must be preceded by an at
sign (@[regular expression]) to indicate that the identifier is a regular expression. See help regex for
a description of regular expression syntax.
rule Specifies an iRule name when you are using a rule for universal persistence.
timeout
Specifies the duration of the persistence entries. The default value is 180 seconds.
to-folder
universal persistence profiles can be moved to any folder under /Common, but configuration dependencies
may restrict moving the profile out of /Common.
