pycontrol, remove_wideip_pool() problem

Remove the double brackets surrounding the new_set object and you should be good to go.

>>> wip = b.GlobalLB.WideIP
>>> pl = b.GlobalLB.Pool
>>> wip.get_list()
[/Common/test.wip.com]
>>> wip.get_wideip_pool(wide_ips = ['/Common/test.wip.com'])
[[(GlobalLB.WideIP.WideIPPool){
   pool_name = "/Common/gpool1"
   order = 0
   ratio = 1
 }, (GlobalLB.WideIP.WideIPPool){
   pool_name = "/Common/gpool2"
   order = 1
   ratio = 2
 }]]
>>> pooldef = wip.typefactory.create('GlobalLB.WideIP.WideIPPool')
>>> pooldef.pool_name = '/Common/gpool2'
>>> pooldef.order = 1
>>> pooldef.ratio = 2
>>> wip.remove_wideip_pool(wide_ips = ['/Common/test.wip.com'], wideip_pools = pooldef)
>>> wip.get_wideip_pool(wide_ips = ['/Common/test.wip.com'])
[[(GlobalLB.WideIP.WideIPPool){
   pool_name = "/Common/gpool1"
   order = 0
   ratio = 1
 }, (GlobalLB.WideIP.WideIPPool){
   pool_name = "/Common/gpool2"
   order = 1
   ratio = 2
 }]]

huh, doesn't appear after second glance that my pool was removed. Odd. Let me pick at it a little longer

Can you test on your version to see if this works. Even if I use the object as is returned from get_wideip_pool in the remove, it still isn't working on my v11 beta image:

>>> a = wip.get_wideip_pool(wide_ips = ['/Common/test.wip.com'])
>>> a[0][0]
(GlobalLB.WideIP.WideIPPool){
   pool_name = "/Common/gpool1"
   order = 0
   ratio = 1
 }
>>> wip.remove_wideip_pool(wide_ips = ['/Common/test.wip.com'], wideip_pools = a[0][0])
>>> wip.get_wideip_pool(wide_ips = ['/Common/test.wip.com'])
[[(GlobalLB.WideIP.WideIPPool){
   pool_name = "/Common/gpool1"
   order = 0
   ratio = 1
 }, (GlobalLB.WideIP.WideIPPool){
   pool_name = "/Common/gpool2"
   order = 1
   ratio = 2
 }]]
>>>

backed off to 10.2.2 and still see the same behavior. Probably user error on my part. I'm going to test the method from another language and see if it's a pycontrol issue or a method issue.

so i have confirmed that the method works with a little ruby help from George. Now I have to figure out my pycontrol errors.

OK, idiot me...figured this out. Requires two creates, one to create the pool definition, then one to create the sequence. Gets me every time!

>>> pooldef = wip.typefactory.create('GlobalLB.WideIP.WideIPPool')
>>> pooldef.pool_name = 'gpool1'
>>> pooldef.order = 0
>>> pooldef.ratio = 1
>>> pooldef_seq = wip.typefactory.create('GlobalLB.WideIP.WideIPPoolSequence')
>>> pooldef_seq.item = [pooldef]
>>> wip.add_wideip_pool(wide_ips = ['test.wip.com'], wideip_pools = [pooldef_seq])
>>> wip.get_wideip_pool(wide_ips = ['test.wip.com'])
[[(GlobalLB.WideIP.WideIPPool){
   pool_name = "gpool1"
   order = 0
   ratio = 1
 }, (GlobalLB.WideIP.WideIPPool){
   pool_name = "gpool2"
   order = 1
   ratio = 2
 }]]
>>> wip.remove_wideip_pool(wide_ips = ['test.wip.com'], wideip_pools = [pooldef_seq])
>>> wip.get_wideip_pool(wide_ips = ['test.wip.com'])
[[(GlobalLB.WideIP.WideIPPool){
   pool_name = "gpool2"
   order = 1
   ratio = 2
 }]]

Point of the problem is how to assign GlobalLB.WideIP.WideIPPool to GlobalLB.WideIP.WideIPPoolSequence. right?

 

 

I correct my script as your suggestion. like

 

 

new_seq = glb.wip_obj.typefactory.create('GlobalLB.WideIP.WideIPPoolSequence')

 

new_set = glb.wip_obj.typefactory.create('GlobalLB.WideIP.WideIPPool')

 

new_set.pool_name = "real_www.domain.com"

 

new_set.order = long(0)

 

new_set.ratio = long(1)

 

new_seq.item = [new_set]

 

 

try:

 

glb.wip_obj.remove_wideip_pool(wide_ips = [wideip], wideip_pools = [new_seq])

 

except Exception, e:

 

print e

 

 

great! it works for me.

 

 

Very thanks
