Determine Data Center for Pool Members

To all,

I'm trying to figure out how to determine what 'Data Center' is associated with each pool member. I've been digging, and the only way I can figure it out, is to determine the dependencies of the pool member, and grab the virtual server name. With that name, you would do a query $soapResponse = $Server->get_data_center(SOAP::Data->name(servers => [@list]));

If that is the most logical way to do it, then...I'm struggling with the $PoolMembers->get_dependency query.

The parameters are:

pool_names String[] The pool names to which the specified members belong.

members IPPortDefinition[][] The pool members.

However, I keep getting the following error:

Wide IP: <...>

Pool List: p-www-fineground

Availability: AVAILABILITY_STATUS_GREEN

Description: Pool p-www-fineground: Available

Load Balance: LB_METHOD_TOPOLOGY

Order: 0

Pool List: p-www-not-fineground

Availability: AVAILABILITY_STATUS_GREEN

Description: Pool p-www-not-fineground: Available

Load Balance: LB_METHOD_TOPOLOGY

Order: 1

Pool Member:

Member Order: 0

    Each parameter in the SOAP method calls, needs the SOAP::Data->name prefix. Whenever you get a "could not find element by name" error, it usually means that you haven't packaged the parameters correctly. Give this a shot.

    sub PoolMemberDataCenter()
{
        my @pool_name = "p-www-fineground";
        my @pool_member = shift;
        my $soapResponse1 = $Pool->get_member(SOAP::Data->name(pool_names =>[@pool_names]));
        &checkResponse($soapResponse1);
        my @memberAofA = @{$soapResponse1->result};
        my $soapResponse = $PoolMember->get_dependency(
                SOAP::Data->name(pool_names=>[@pool_name]),
                SOAP::Data->name(members=>[@memberAofA])
        );
        &checkResponse($soapResponse);
        my @dataCenter = @{$soapResponse->result};
        foreach my $dc (@dataCenter)
        {
               Verbose("\t\t\t\tDataCenter: $dc");
        }
}
