Can I change the default pool for a virt via Powershell?

Pretty self explanatory. I have virts and pools and just want to change one virt to point to a different pool via Powershell. What's the easiest way to do that?

The pool is an attribute on the Virtual server. To set the default pool, just use the LocalLB.VirtualServer.set_default_pool_name() method.

There's a perl sample in the CodeShare that uses that method.

For the PowerShell snapin, to set the virtual "virtual_name" default pool to "pool_name", do something like this:

 

PS> Initialize-F5.iControl -hostname bigip_addr -username user -password pass

 

PS> $ic = Get-F5.iControl

 

PS> $ic.LocalLBVirtualServer.set_default_pool_name( @("virtual_name"), @("pool_name"))

 

Hope this helps...
