Hi @syncretism, this is honestly an area where I think we made it harder for the end user by sticking to the sdk design requirements of honoring the REST API endpoints. Because they changed so dramatically between v11 and v12, it's going to require using both methods to interact with the different TMOS versions. So for v11, it would be:

 

mgmt_root.tm.gtm.pools.pool.create(name=....)

 

and for v12 (for an a record):

 

mgmt_root.tm.gtm.a_s.a.create(name=...)

 

you can substitute the other methods as necessary.
