Error return on modifying pool member property with python script

Hi Roger,

I assume this is the task you want to do:

tmsh:

modify ltm pool members modify { { ratio } }

iControl REST (curl):

curl -sku -H "Content-type: application/json" -X PATCH -d '{"ratio":}' https:///mgmt/tm/ltm/pool//members/

e.g. (changing the ratio of the member ~Commmon~apache:80 in the pool CentOS to 10),

 

curl -sku admin:admin -H "Content-type: application/json" -X PATCH 
     -d '{"ratio":10}' 
     https://192.168.0.2/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/CentOS/members/~Common~apache:80

 

A Python code for the above example would look like this (there should be better ways to do this):

 

from f5.bigip import ManagementRoot

mgmt = ManagementRoot('192.168.0.2', 'admin', 'admin')
pool = mgmt.tm.ltm.pools.pool.load(name='CentOS', partition='Common')
members = pool.members_s.get_collection()
for member in members:
    print '{}: Ratio {}'.format(member.name, member.ratio)
    if member.name == 'apache:80':
        member.update(ratio=10)
        break
    

 

Probably you do not have pip installed or it is located somewhere not in your path. Install it first (I use yum so yum install python2-pip.noarch for my Python 2.7.5).
