Looks like you found a hole in the interfaces. We currently expose the ability to set the ratio in the add_pool_virtual_server() method 

struct VirtualServerAttribute { 
     IPPortDefinition source, 
     IPPortDefinition translated, 
     IPPortDefinition depends, 
     long ratio, 
     EnabledStatus status, 
     StatColor state 
 }; 
  
 void ITCMGlobalLB::Wideip::add_pool_virtual_server( 
     in String wideip_name, 
     in String pool_name, 
     in VirtualServerAttribute vs 
 );

But we currently don't have a method to set that attribute after the virtual server has been added. If you need this functionality, contact product support and we can get the process started for a Customer Special Request to get it included in upcoming releases on the 4.x platform.

BTW, I verified and this is available on our 9.0 platform with version 9.0 of the SDK.
