Help with iApp creation
I was wondering if anyone had complete examples of how to create a basic iApp using powershell and iControl?
I have scoured the forums, blogs, posts, tech article and there's absolutely nothing apart from examples in Perl. Although looking at these example does help I'm having issues creating the scalar_vars for the f5.microsoft.iis template.
So in psuedo terms I'm doing the following :
$scalar_vars = @(0..10) this is the only way I can get a 'list' of named pairs. Hastable of hashes wont work
for ($i=0; $i -lt 10; $i++){
$scalar_vars[$i]=New-Object iControl.ManagementApplicationServiceScalarVar
$scalar_vars[$i].name = $iApp.scalar_vars[$i].name pool__addr
$scalar_vars[$i].value = $iApp.scalar_vars[$i].value 10.10.10.10
}
At the end I get an array of objects using the iControl.ManagementApplicationServiceScalarVar object
$scalar_vars
name value
---- -----
pool__addr 10.10.10.10
pool__port 80
net__server_mode lan
net__client_mode lan
server_pools__create_new_pool test-HTTP
optimizations__lan_or_wan LAN
server_pools__create_new_monitor Use Monitor...
server_pools__reuse_monitor_name /Common/http
server_pools__lb_method_choice round-robin
After creating the table_vars etc... I plug the values into
$(Get-F5.iControl).ManagementApplicationService.create("TestiAPP", "f5.microsoft.iis", $scalar_vars, $list_vars, $table_vars)
The error msg I get is
Exception: Common::OperationFailed
primary_error_code : 21954567 (0x014F0007)
secondary_error_code : 0
error_string : script did not successfully complete: (can't read "::net__server_mode": no such
variable
while executing
"expr {( $::net__server_mode ne "tunnel" && [iapp::is ::pool__pool_to_use $::CREATE_NEW_ANSWER] ) || (
$::net__server_mode eq "tunnel" && [iapp::is ..."
(procedure "v11_4_main" line 303)
It would seem from the error that either not all the named pairs are being read or $scalar_vars is being cut off part way down. Reordering the pairs simply throws up the same error with a different variable. I have narrowed down that it reads the first two pairs then 'bugs out'.
Can anyone either shed light on this or provide examples?
I'm running 11.5.1 HF5 if it helps.
Regards.

Bump! No one out there willing to offer a helping hand?

It would seem there is a bug with either the 11.5 code base or the f5.microsoft.iis template when reading in scalar values. Trying the same process using .Net SDK renders the same error results as above. If anyone can offer a workaround or solution it would be greatly received.
