create a pool with members

Andy: have a look here for a helper function that will hopefully be of some value.

For the impatient, here it is 🙂

 

def member_factory(b, member):
    ''' 
    Produces a Common.IPPortDefinition object per member ip:port combination
    object per member ip:port combination. Add these to Common.IPPortDefinitionSequence.

    args: a pycontrol LocalLB.PoolMember object and an ip:port
    combination that you'd like to add.
    '''

    ip,port = member.split(':')
    pmem = b.LocalLB.PoolMember.typefactory.create('Common.IPPortDefinition')
    pmem.address = ip
    pmem.port = int(port)
    return pmem

Note how the positional arguments are laid out: one is the BIGIP object, the other is ip:port combination you want to create the IPPortDefinition from. Fom here you could do something like (not tested, free form code below!):

 

members = ['10.10.10.20:80','10.10.10.30:80','10.10.10.40:80']
ipport_objects = [member_factory(b, x) for x in members]

 

Hope this helps!
