Java adding a pool member with a custom name

You didn't say, but perhaps you are experiencing one of these two error messages:

 

 

>>> b.LocalLB.Pool.create_v2(['p2'],['LB_METHOD_ROUND_ROBIN'],[[{'port': 80, 'address': 'roger'}]])

 

Traceback (most recent call last):

Perhaps you want something like this:

 

 

>>> b.LocalLB.NodeAddressV2.create(['roger'],['1.1.1.1'],[0])

 

>>> b.LocalLB.Pool.create_v2(['p2'],['LB_METHOD_ROUND_ROBIN'],[[{'port': 80, 'address': 'roger'}]])

 

 

So we create a node, then use that in the pool create in the members argument.

 

That yields this pool and node:

 

 

[root@regent:Active:Standalone] iControl tmsh list ltm pool p2

 

ltm pool p2 {

 

members {

 

roger:http {

 

address 1.1.1.1

 

}

 

}

 

}

 

[root@regent:Active:Standalone] iControl tmsh list ltm node roger

 

ltm node roger {

 

address 1.1.1.1

 

}

 

 

If we get an address we can convert in the AddressPort structure you pass, we create the node automatically:

 

 

>>> b.LocalLB.Pool.create_v2(['p3'],['LB_METHOD_ROUND_ROBIN'],[[{'port': 80, 'address': '2.2.2.2'}]])

 

 

That gets us a node named "2.2.2.2" and creates the pool with that as a member.

 

 

[root@regent:Active:Standalone] iControl tmsh list ltm pool p3

 

ltm pool p3 {

 

members {

 

2.2.2.2:http {

 

address 2.2.2.2

 

}

 

}

 

}

 

[root@regent:Active:Standalone] iControl tmsh list ltm node 2.2.2.2

 

ltm node 2.2.2.2 {

 

address 2.2.2.2

 

}
