iRule to disable a pool to new connections

I'm wondering if anyone knows whether it is possible to set a pool state from within an iRule?   I am very keen to try to automate the disabling of new connections at a certain time of day.   ...

To disable all the pool members, you need to either execute a tmsh command or use the new iCall system if your OS is recent enough.

 

The tmsh command could be triggered by cron.

 

iCall is explained in DevCentral: https://devcentral.f5.com/icall/getting-started

 

A third, more complex way would be to have an external system execute iControl (SOAP).
