Yep. I used it in a small script to upload data to a datagroup.

 

 

1. Yes,

 

2. I always run on the active and sync to the standby... Makes operational sense in that you get fewer surprises where uncontrolled changes may have been made to the standby and suddenly your active changes unexpectedly

 

3. The shared config is synced... So floating IP addresses, VS, pools, classes, datagroups etc.

 

 

Small caveat... i'm not aware of any of the v10 options for syncing being present in this call (The call itself is from v9). So there's no pull option. It's always push from this unit to the other...

 

 

 

My program actually does a small check at the start to make sure the change is being made on the active unit and never the standby to make sure of 2.

 

 

 

I'll see if I can find a copy somewhere and upload it.
