LocalLB Virtual Server Creation using powershell

Hi There, I am facing issue while trying to create a Virtual Server using powershell.

 

Code:

 

$vipdefinition = New-Object -TypeName iControl.CommonVirtualServerDefinition;

 

$vipdefinition.name = "rajtest.http.vip";

 

$vipdefinition.address = "172.31.51.14";

 

$vipdefinition.port = 80;

 

$vipdefinition.protocol = "PROTOCOL_TCP";

 

$wildmasks = "255.255.254.0";

 

$resource = New-Object -TypeName iControl.LocalLBVirtualServerVirtualServerResource;

 

$resource.type = "RESOURCE_TYPE_POOL";

 

$resource.default_pool_name = "raj-qa-14_pool";

 

$profile = New-Object -TypeName iControl.LocalLBVirtualServerVirtualServerProfile;

 

$profile.profile_context = "PROFILE_CONTEXT_TYPE_ALL";

 

$profile.profile_name = "http";

 

(Get-F5.iControl).LocalLBVirtualServer.create($vipdefinition,$wildmask,$resource,$profile);

 

Error:

 

Exception calling "create" with "4" argument(s): "Exception caught in LocalLB::urn:iControl:LocalLB/VirtualServer::create()

 

Exception: Common::OperationFailed primary_error_code : 17236808 (0x01070348) secondary_error_code : 0 error_string : 01070348:3: Virtual Server /Common/rajtest.http.vip destination 172.31.51.14 and netmask 0.0.0.0 are not valid."

Please share if any body faced this kind of issue or have a solution.

 

Note: I tried all the possible wildmasks value but nothing is working.

 

However, if if give the destination address and wildmask values as "0.0.0.0", then the VIP is getting created successfully. And from GUI, i am able to edit this and update the destination address to correct value. But want all this to happen in one flow.
