Confusion on changing a pool member state

I thought of that. The reason I didn't do this, and the reason I got confused, is because get_monitor_status also requires string [] but if you see my example above I did not have to pass it in as an array. I was able to simply use "poolname" and not ["poolname"]

member = {:address => "172.16.20.65", :port => 0}

monitor_state = "STATE_DISABLED"

This is a good point. I will try this.

also, if you are using v11.x you should be doing all this in the LocalLB::Pool with set_member_monitor_state

We standardize on 10.2.3 still. :)

Thanks for the help Andy. I'll update you with the status. It may be a few weeks, after the holidays, when I can look at this again.
