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

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 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. Navigate to the location containing the f5-newman-wrapper files /home/snops/f5-automation-labs/jenkins/f5-newman-operation

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

    lab-3-2

  3. f5-newman-build-3 contains calls to change the nodes for our service (to our Blue service ports) AS3 declarations use a false mechanism for pool members, keeping them in the delclaration but removing them from being used as a target

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

    Output should look like:

    Notice the 200 OK responses, as it completed successfully

  4. Log back into BIG-IP A examine the pool module_3_pool status page you should see on red diamond node and another node green and online:

    lab-3-3

    We’re doing some testing on our Blue service ports, now we can see we have a bad backend server!

Task 2 - Execute f5-newman-build-4

  1. On BIG-IP A examine the pool module_3_pool, you should show only 1 Active and Green:

    lab-3-3

  2. f5-newman-build-4 contains the calls to set our all our backend service pool members to a true state in the AS3 Declaration

    Execute: f5-newman-wrapper f5-newman-build-4
