NimbostratusHow do I enable and disable pool members using iControlREST
Hi
I'm trying to the following PUT request to enable a pool member (IP's masked out):
https://10.102.xx.xx/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/~QA~pool_vcoza_portal_UAT/members/~QA~10.102.xx.xx:9001
My request has the following body and Content-Type: application/json
{ "state" : "up" }
I get the following result back:
{"code":400,"message":"invalid property value \"state\":\"up\"","errorStack":[]}
However, doing the same kind of thing for other properties, dynamicRatio for example, does work.
Please help!

Kapil_Malhotra_I tried this but getting the following error. {"code":415,"message":"Found invalid content-type. The content-type must be application/json. The received content-type is application/x-www-form-urlencoded","errorStack":[]}
- JRahmdon't forget this part of the query: -H "Content-Type: application/json"
- Kapil_Malhotra_Hi Jason, -H "Content-Type: application/json was part of my query but still getting the error posted above curl -sk -u kapil:xxxxx https://xxxxxxxx/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/test-default/members/~Common~10.xx.xx.xx:10001/ \ -H "Content.Type: application/json" -X PUT -d '{"state": "user-down", "session": "user-disabled"}'
Romuald_197888Hello, I've got the same error : {"code":400,"message":"Found invalid JSON body in the request.","errorStack":[]} With the following request : curl -sk -u admin:xxxxx -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT -d '{"session": "user-enabled"}' https://xx.xx.xx.xx/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/~PREPROD~POOL_COLLECTEAI/members/~PREPROD~host.domain.fr:80 Any idea ? Thanks

Hello,
Our consultant find the solution. The correct syntax is with PUT method:
curl -X PUT -d '{"session":"user-enabled"}' -u admin:xxxxxxxxx -H "Content-Type: application/json" -k
- good deal. Just saw this, sorry I missed the original comment. Yes, a modification of an existing object requires the PUT method, POST is for object creation.
