How to update Powershell to use new v11 iControl calls

Newb to powershell so probably a stupid question but what is the proper way to update Powershell Snapin to use new v11 iControl calls. Thought it was as easy as updating the iControl.dll from something like:

but obviously not.

 

 

 

 

 

PS C:\Users\client1> (Get-F5.iControl).GlobalLBVirtualServer.get_list()

 

 

 

name address

 

---- -------

 

/Common/vs_10_70_2_53_53_gtm 10.70.2.53

 

/Common/one_connect_vs 10.70.0.104

 

.....

 

 

 

 

 

Simply want to start using the new v11 V2 calls.

 

 

 

PS C:\Users\client1> (Get-F5.iControl).GlobalLBVirtualServerV2.get_list()

 

You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression.

 

At line:1 char:51

 

+ (Get-F5.iControl).GlobalLBVirtualServerV2.get_list <<<< ()

 

+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (get_list:String) [], RuntimeException

 

+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvokeMethodOnNull

    Alex, most likely your best bet is to download the latest installer and then run it. If that doesn't work, you might have to remove/re-install.

     

     

    Let me know if either of those steps don't work.

     

     

    I'm working on the 11.2 PowerShell version right now so I'll test the upgrade and report back.

    Duhh, That would make sense. Was definitely having my little forest through the trees moment. Thinking I know it needs the new wsdl and didn't see the python dynamic equivalent wsdls = ['XXX', 'XXXX'] so thought could simply swap out a file or something :)

     

     

    In any case, completely uninstalled and Re-installed "iControl Cmdlets v11.0.0 msi" from:

     

     

    https://devcentral.f5.com/Community/GroupDetails/tabid/1082223/asg/3/aft/1172127/showtab/groupforums/Default.aspx

     

     

    and worked like a charm. I'll be on the lookout for v11.2!

     

     

    Thanks!
