Lab 3.3 – Execute an f5-newman-wrapper for Operations

In the last lab we walked through creating an Application Service Framework, and then updating the service framework in a separate call. This lab has 2 f5-newman-files also, one file used to user-down a pool member, and another to user-up the same member. These could be used as individual calls from another toolkit (which we’ll see later) or run independently as a single commands.

Task 1 - Execute f5-newman-build-3

  1. Open Putty and connect to the super-netops-container user credentials are snops and default

  2. Navigate to the location containing the f5-newman-wrapper files cd ~/f5-automation-labs/jenkins/f5-newman-operation

  3. On BIGIP-A examine the pool module_3_pool, you should see 2 active (Green) pool members:

    image95

  4. f5-newman-build-3 contains calls to change the node state to user-down for "bigip_pool_member":"75.67.228.133:80", both of these are specified as variables in the f5-newman-wrapper files.

    Execute: f5-newman-wrapper f5-newman-build-3

    Output should look like:
