NimbostratusUse Poolmember hostname instead of Ipaddress
I am using f5-icontrol to manage bigip I am able to add/delete/modify and remove members by Ipaddress as Poolmember, I want to use hostname as a poolmember instead of Ipaddress. Please advise.

R_MarcThis feature was added in 11.6 I think (maybe 11.5...but I don't have anything still on 11.5).

Rajesh_JVLN_179Hi Marc,
I am using f5-icontrol-11.3.0.0.gem and using Chef-11,as of today we have only f5-icontrol-11.4.0.0.gem. Please direct me where can I find 11.6 gem. Thanks & Regards Rajesh

I wouldn't know. I use (and would recommend using) the Rest API, which came as of 11.5. The features in question don't really have anything to do with your Ruby gem, but rather the version of BigIP firmware you are running. As I noted, this feature came in version 11.6 of the BigIP firmware.
