GTM Pools

Is there a trick to disabling a GTM pool used by a wide IP? I can enable them just fine when they have been manually disabled, but for some reason the iControl interface just ignore...

It looks as if it should work. I just tested it with this code

In this code I'm only passing in a single pool, but I tested by adding multiple pools manually in the code and it worked fine.

Here's the SOAP Trace for the set_enabled_state:

  
      xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"   
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"   
    xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"   
    xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">  
    
      
        
        gtm_pool  
        
        
        STATE_DISABLED

Can you run this script against your BIG-IP. If you pass in no pool name, it will return a list. Here's a test run I ran:

> .\PerlGTMPool.pl bigip 443 user pass

gtm_pool_2

gtm_pool

> .\PerlGTMPool.pl bigip 443 user pass gtm_pool

STATE_ENABLED

> .\PerlGTMPool.pl bigip 443 user pass gtm_pool disabled

STATE_DISABLED

> .\PerlGTMPool.pl bigip 443 user pass gtm_pool enabled

STATE_ENABLED

> .\PerlGTMPool.pl bigip 443 user pass gtm_pool

STATE_ENABLED
