Summary

Lists all software volumes (boot locations/disk volumes used by software installations) on an F5 BIG-IP by sending a GET to /mgmt/tm/sys/software/volume via iControl REST.

Inputs

  • Request Options — Optional collection of HTTP settings. Batching sets items per batch (default 50, -1 disables) and the interval between batches (default 1000 ms). Ignore SSL Issues accepts the response even when certificate validation fails (default off). Proxy sets an HTTP proxy URL, optionally with credentials. Timeout is the milliseconds to wait for response headers (default 10000).

Output shape

The JSON response from the BIG-IP software volume collection endpoint. It typically holds a collection of volume entries.

The source declares no response post-processing, so the output is whatever the API returns. The exact fields come from the device. The operation takes no parameters beyond the request options. The host and SSL settings come from the bigIpF5Api credential.

Examples

Example 1: Check which boot volumes exist and what software is installed before planning an upgrade.

Resource: System; Operation: Get Software Volumes; default Request Options.

Example 2: Query a BIG-IP that has a self-signed certificate and responds slowly.

Add Request Options: enable Ignore SSL Issues, set Timeout to 30000.
