NimbostratusPowers shell - Automated
We have tried to automate the pool member enabled/force offline. We have found some automated script in this devcentral but unable to customize that script suitable for our environment.
If any one help to customize the script really appreciate.

Can you provide a link to the script you've found along with any details of what you're trying to do and why it can't be customized with the script?
Raviperumal_180Thanks Michael Jenkins.
 
I have used F5 iControl with power shell scripts.
 
We referred below URL: https://devcentral.f5.com/s/articles/icontrol-apps-04-graceful-server-shutdown
 
We have tried to customized above posted power shell script suitable for our environment,and tried to graceful shutdown the pool members.
 
Let me know if you need anymore clarification from my end.
 
Regards Ravi P

What version of the appliance are you running? If 11.5 or later, have you looked into at all? Here's a link that provides some info on disabling pool members. It may prove to be simpler than using iControl in this situation.
 
If you prefer Rest and running on version 11.5 or above, listen to Michael, he knows his stuff. :)
Otherwise you can try this one that I wrote 2 years ago:
It uses the Powershell iControl module for Soap written by F5's Joe Pruitt. Instructions on how to install it can be found here:

Disclaimer, not tested recently. :)
