Procedure to change protocol of a LocalLB::VirtualServer

Hi Can somebody let me know what are the API to be called or the procedure to change the protocol of a LocalLB::VirtualServer. for example a standard type Virtual Server change the protocol from TCP to UDP.

 

If I just call 'LocalLB.VirtualServer.set_protocol' it complains that incompatible profiles.

 

If I do 'LocalLB.VirtualServer.remove_all_profiles' before changing the protocol still this error comes on changing the protocol. so i just listed the profiles I found below

 

 

[[(LocalLB.VirtualServer.VirtualServerProfileAttribute){

 

profile_type = "PROFILE_TYPE_TCP"

 

profile_context = "PROFILE_CONTEXT_TYPE_ALL"

 

profile_name = "/Common/tcp"

 

}]]

 

 

Iam using pyControl & iControl apis with v11 device

 

 

So can somebody give me sample code to change the protocol of a virtual server(example TCP to UDP)

    Hi vgeorge,

     

     

    When you change the protocol of a virtual server I think you basically need to redefine all of the attributes, profiles, etc. So it would probably be easier in concept to remove the old virtual server and create a new one.

    so what about changing the protocol profile? for example to change protocol profile from 'tcp' to 'tcp-legacy'. I am encountering the same problem this case too.
