How do we set Server name to a node in F5 11.0.0 version Via icontrol
Hi Chandu,
I think what you're running into here is a change that occurred in v11. Prior to v11, nodes were referenced by IP address and assigning a screen name was optional. With v11, nodes are referenced by named instead of IP. Both a name and an IP are required to create a node now.
If you notice in the web UI, the 'name' field is not editable when editing a node. In order to rename a node you'll need to save the config (tmsh% save sys config), edit bigip.conf (tmsh% run util bash -c 'vi /config/bigip.conf'), replace the relevant node names, save bigip.conf, and finally load the changes (tmsh% load sys config).
If you want to interact with nodes in v11, the LocalLB::NodeAddressV2 interface is what you want. You can't change the names via iControl however.
