How to create a new node

I'd like to create a new node on the BIG-IP.

 

As a base I am using one of the sample codes.

 

I am using:

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

createNode

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

sub createNode()

 

{

 

$soapResponse = $NodeCreate->create(

 

SOAP::Data->name( node_addresses => [$sNode] ),

 

SOAP::Data->name( limits => [$sLimits] )

 

);

 

&checkResponse($soapResponse);

 

}

 

 

But I am getting

 

"500 Internal Server Error at createNode.pl line 69" as return.

 

 

The samples are running allright. Whats my mistake. Any clue?

 

Must be a very simple mistake.

    The basics of your code looks fine. Have you verified that the contents of the $sNode and $sLimits variables are valid? I tried this code snippet and it worked for me.

     

     

    sub createNodeAddress()
{
  $sNode = "1.2.3.4";
  $sLimits = 0;
  $soapResponse = $NodeAddress->create
  (
    SOAP::Data->name(node_addresses => [$sNode]),
    SOAP::Data->name(limits => [$sLimits])
  );
  &checkResponse($soapResponse);
  print "Node Address Created Successfully!\n";
}

     

     

    If you are sure the input's are valid, then I'd try to turn on the SOAP::Lite debugging

     

     

    use SOAP::Lite + trace => qw(method debug);

     

     

    This will spit out the full SOAP messages. It should look like this:

     

     

      soap:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" 
  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/">
  
    
      
        1.2.3.4
      
      
        80

     

     

    If your inputs look like this then you'll likely have to open a support ticket to get this issue looked at.
