Aug 24, 2010Determine pools defined for WideIP
Hi,
Is there a way with an iRule (attached to a WideIP) to determine:
1) the list of pools defined (all pools, regardless of state) for that WideIP, in the same order they are defi...

Aug 27, 2010According to the documentation:
pools -list
* Returns a list of pools in the wideIP.
pools [blue|green|yellow|red|gray]
* Returns the number of pools in the wideIP in the specified state.
pools -list [blue|green|yellow|red|gray]
* Returns a list of pools in the wideIP in the specified state.
It looks like -list flag should list all pools regardless of state, since I can then qualify it to only see pools of a specific state if I want to.
I was also pointing out that the results of the command are different if I have a 'Last Resort Pool' defined in the WideIP - from when I don't. I still think it's a bit strange ;-)
Also - there are times (in our environment anyway) where I need to get DNS (WideIP's) setup before the hosts are actually available. In this case - they are DR servers that I need to setup DNS for, but the servers aren't yet available for monitoring to succeed. And I don't always rely on the GTM to determine health - I want it to give out the correct IP's. We have other devices (load balancing) that can route based on health status.
So . . . I am looking for the command to return all pools in this case - regardless of state . . .
