Cannot add 3rd irule to vip due to priority error even if priorities are different

In case you want to see how I create the irule in the first place...

 

 

lines = [" This iRule redirects to the standard maintenance page with the highest priority.\n",

 

" Generated by pycontrol. Manual edits will be undone.\n",

 

"priority 1\n",

 

"when HTTP_REQUEST {\n",

 

" HTTP::redirect http://webassets.scea.com/generic_maintenance/sceait_generic/maintenance.html\n",

 

"}"]

 

maintenance_irule = ''.join(lines)

 

maintenance_irule_name = 'api_maintenance'

 

irule_definition = { 'rule_name': maintenance_irule_name,

 

'rule_definition': maintenance_irule }

 

 

If rule already exists refresh it, otherwise create it.

 

existing_rules = lb.LocalLB.Rule.get_list()

 

for rule in existing_rules:

 

if maintenance_irule_name in rule:

 

pre_exists = True

 

break

 

else:

 

pre_exists = False

 

 

if pre_exists is True:

 

try:

 

lb.LocalLB.Rule.modify_rule([irule_definition])

 

print "\nThe iRule '%s' already existed but got refreshed.\n" % maintenance_irule_name

 

except Exception, e:

 

print e

 

sys.exit()

 

else:

 

try:

 

lb.LocalLB.Rule.create([irule_definition])

 

print "\nThe iRule '%s' was successfully created.\n" % maintenance_irule_name

 

except Exception, e:

 

print e

 

sys.exit()
