poolmember set_ratio

I'm having troubles trying to set the poolmember ratio. This is my code:

 

 

Dim m_interfaces As iControl.Interfaces = New iControl.Interfaces

 

m_interfaces.initialize("171.21.1.150", "username", "pwd")

 

 

Dim pm As iControl.LocalLBPoolMember

 

 

pm = m_interfaces.LocalLBPoolMember

 

 

Dim memberinfo As New iControl.LocalLBPoolMemberMemberRatio

 

 

Dim member As New iControl.CommonIPPortDefinition

 

 

Dim ratios(0) As iControl.LocalLBPoolMemberMemberRatio

 

 

 

 

member.address = "IPAddress"

 

member.port = "8399"

 

memberinfo.member = member

 

 

memberinfo.ratio = 99

 

 

ratios(0) = memberinfo

 

 

 

 

Dim pool(0) As String

 

pool(0) = "POOLName"

 

pm.set_ratio(pool, ratios)

 

 

I keep getting the compile error below. If I switch ratios to type "object" then it doesn't error out till runtime. I cannot figure out the syntax of this call...can someone help.

 

 

 

 

Value of type '1-dimensional array of iControl.LocalLBPoolMemberMemberRatio' cannot be converted to '1-dimensional array of 1-dimensional array of iControl.LocalLBPoolMemberMemberRatio' because 'iControl.LocalLBPoolMemberMemberRatio' is not derived from '1-dimensional array of iControl.LocalLBPoolMemberMemberRatio'.

    The function definition for the LocalLB.PoolMember.set_ratio method is 

     set_ratio( 
   in String [] pool_names, 
   in LocalLB__PoolMember__MemberRatio [] [] ratios 
 );

    It takes as parameters a 1-d array of pool names and then a 2-d parameter of member ratios (first dimension for each pool in param 1 and the second dimension for the pool members for that entry).

    You are passing in a 1-d array for the ratios parameter and thus getting the error that you it cannot be converted from a 1-d array to a 1-d array of 1-d array.

    You'll need to do something like this 

     ' Allocate poolNameA parameter of size 1 with single entry of "poolname" 
 Dim poolNameA() As String = New String() {"poolname"} 
  
 ' Allocate ratioAofA parameter of size 1,1 (one pool for first param, and one member for that pool). 
 Dim ratioAofA()() As iControl.LocalLBPoolMemberMemberRatio 
 ratioAofA = New iControl.LocalLBPoolMemberMemberRatio(0)() {} 
 ' Allocate 2nd dimension of the array to be of size 1 
 ratioAofA(0) = New iControl.LocalLBPoolMemberMemberRatio(0) {} 
  
 ' Allocate the structure in array value [0][0] 
 ratioAofA(0)(0) = New iControl.LocalLBPoolMemberMemberRatio() 
  
 ' Allocate the the member CommonIPPortDefinition structure 
 ratioAofA(0)(0).member = New iControl.CommonIPPortDefinition() 
  
 ' Fill in array value [0][0] 
 ratioAofA(0)(0).member.address = "10.10.10.10" 
 ratioAofA(0)(0).member.port = 8399 
 ratioAofA(0)(0).ratio = 99 
  
 m_interfaces.LocalLBPoolMember.set_ratio(poolNameA, ratioAofA)

    The reason we do multi-dim arrays is so that you could configure something like this in one shot 

    pool_1 
   10.10.10.10:80, 99 
   20.20.20.20:80, 50 
 pool_2 
   30.30.30.30:80, 25 
   40.40.40.40:80, 30 
   50.50.50.50:80, 40

    In that case you would need the first array to be of size 2 with entries of "pool_1" and "pool_2" and the ratios parameter would have 2 and 3 entries for the 2nd dimensions.

    Hope this clears things up...
