velos_partition_image – Manage VELOS chassis partition images

New in version 1.1.0.

DEPRECATED

Removed in F5 BIGIP Collection version:
 2.0.0
Why:All VELOS related modules have been moved to a dedicated collection for managing F5OS based devices.
Alternative:Use f5networks.f5os.velos_partition_image instead.

Synopsis

  • Manage VELOS chassis partition images.

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Configuration Comments
image_name
string / required
Name of the partition image.
The value must follow original F5 ISO naming pattern: F5OS-C- if iso_version is not provided.
iso_version
string
The F5OS-C OS version.
When not provided, the value is extracted from the provided image_name.
protocol
string
    Choices:
  • scp ←
  • sftp
  • https
Protocol to be used for image transfer.
remote_host
string
The hostname or IP address of the remote server on which the partition image is stored.
The server must make the image accessible via the specified protocol.
remote_password
string
Password for the user on the remote server on which the partition image is stored.
remote_path
path
The path to the partition image on the remote server.
remote_port
integer
The port to connect to on the remote host.
If the port is not provided, a default port for the selected protocol is used.
remote_user
string
User name for the remote server on which the partition image is stored.
state
string
    Choices:
  • import ←
  • present
  • absent
The partition image state.
If import, starts the image import task if the image does not exist.
If present, checks for the status of the import task if the image does not exist.
If absent, deletes the partition image if it exists.
timeout
integer
Default:
300
The amount of time to wait for image import to finish, in seconds.
The accepted value range is between 150 and 3600 seconds.

Notes

Note

  • It can take up to 20 minutes for the image to register on the device after successful upload.
  • As there is no way to check the internal ISO import progress yet, users should assume if the image ISO has not been found by this module when running the module with state set to present and 20 minutes has passed since it was uploaded, the internal import failed. The most common reason for this failure is ISO image corruption.

Examples

- hosts: all
  collections:
    - f5networks.f5_bigip
  connection: httpapi

  vars:
    ansible_host: "lb.mydomain.com"
    ansible_user: "admin"
    ansible_httpapi_password: "secret"
    ansible_network_os: f5networks.f5_bigip.velos
    ansible_httpapi_use_ssl: yes

  tasks:
    - name: Import partition image onto the Velos controller
      velos_partition_image:
        image_name: F5OS-C-1.1.0-3198.PARTITION.iso
        remote_host: builds.mydomain.com
        remote_user: admin
        remote_password: secret
        remote_path: /images/
        state: import

    - name: Check for presence of the imported ISO on the Velos controller
      velos_partition_image:
        image_name: F5OS-C-1.1.0-3198.PARTITION.iso
        timeout: 600
        state: present

    - name: Remove partition image from the Velos controller
