NimbostratusInconsistent results from ManagementDevice.get_list
Hi,
Given the hostname or IP address of a single LTM running version 11.2, I'm needing to enumerate the management addresses of that LTM and any other LTMs which are peers for failover and ConfigSync. I started with iControlAssembly 11.2 and the following C code fragment which worked properly the first time I ran it but not when executed again. The get_list method is returning an empty array on those subsequent executions. After waiting 24 hours and trying it again, I got the same result--it worked only the first time it was run.
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Interfaces ifaces = new Interfaces();
if (!ifaces.initialize("192.168.10.10", 443, "admin", "password"))
{
throw ifaces.LastException;
}
string[] devices = ifaces.ManagementDevice.get_list();
string[] addresses = ifaces.ManagementDevice.get_management_address(devices);
foreach (string addr in addresses)
{
Console.WriteLine(addr);
}
}
Testing of other function calls with LocalLBVirtualServer are all working every time it executes.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Ryan_TreatI believe I found the problem. The "other function calls" I alluded to include changing partitions and apparently the partition is significant for the ManagementDevice functions even though the devices themselves don't appear as though they can be partitioned. Adding ifaces.ManagementPartition.set_active_partition("Common") before the get_list got it working with every execution.
