Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
active_bonus
integer
Specifies the extra value to be added to the HA score of the active unit.
When system creates HA group this value is set to 10 by the system.

boolean
    Choices:

In TMOS versions 12.x this attribute is named threshold, however it has been deprecated in versions 13.x and above.
Specifying this attribute in the module running against v12.x will keep the same behavior as if threshold option was set.

Notes

Note

  • This module does not support atomic removal of HA group objects.
  • For more information on using Ansible to manage F5 Networks devices see https://www.ansible.com/integrations/networks/f5.
  • Requires BIG-IP software version >= 12.
  • The F5 modules only manipulate the running configuration of the F5 product. To ensure that BIG-IP specific configuration persists to disk, be sure to include at least one task that uses the f5networks.f5_modules.bigip_config module to save the running configuration. Refer to the module’s documentation for the correct usage of the module to save your running configuration.
