Change multiple pools in one curl REST API command

Another option might be to use transactions. All of the commands are committed together as a transaction, such that if any of them fail all of the others are rolled back.

!/bin/bash

USERPASS='admin:password'

 create a transaction and return the transaction ID
transid=`curl -sk -u $USERPASS -H 'Accept: application/json' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' https://[mgmt-ip]/mgmt/tm/transaction -d '{}' |awk -F"," '{ print $1 }' |awk -F":" '{ print $2 }'`

 disable the first pool's member
curl -sk -u $USERPASS -H "X-F5-REST-Coordination-Id: $transid" -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT https://[mgmt-ip]/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/[pool-name] -d '{"name":"[pool-name]","members":[{"name":"[member-name]","state":"user-down"}]}'

 disable the second pool's member
curl -sk -u $USERPASS -H "X-F5-REST-Coordination-Id: $transid" -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT https://[mgmt-ip]/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/[pool-name] -d '{"name":"[pool-name]","members":[{"name":"[member-name]","state":"user-down"}]}'

 commit the transactio
curl -sk -u $USERPASS -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT https://[mgmt-ip]/mgmt/tm/transaction/$transid -d '{ "state":"VALIDATING" }'
