Node.ITCMCommonIPPortDefinition does not exist...

Daniel,

 

 

First of all: Welcome!

 

 

There are a couple of issues here so I'll try to address them all (if not, let me know). First, the tutorial was written for BIG-IP v4.5, not BIG-IP v9.0.

 

 

*Note to self: build a new tutorial for 9.x!

 

 

In 9.0, we introduced an entire new architecure and due to the underlying object changes we weren't able to maintain 100% compatibility with old interfaces. In 4.x we prefixed all interfaces with "ITCM". In 9.x, we included a few of these that we thought covered the marjority of the existing apps, but for new applications we strongly recommend not using them.

 

 

One of the big changes in the architecture, is that there is no longer a concept of a "node server" (ie. ip:port). Now this is referred to as a "pool member". All methods in the Node Interface now only work on node addresses.

 

 

So, for your 9.x version of the ITCMLocalLB.Node.wsdl file, it no longer contains references to the ITCMCommonIPPortDefinition structure because that structure is no longer needed in that interface.

 

 

Your best bet is to start with the LocalLB.Node, LocalLB.Pool, and LocalLB.PoolMember interfaces and try to play around with them. I'll try to whip up a parallel app for the v9 interfaces. I'll let you know if and when that's available (probably via CodeShare).

 

 

Sorry for the confusion - we'll get that fixed!
