What does root folder mean when it comes to vertual server Create

The behavior did change. In v11, objects are separted into Folders. It his how applicaiton level objects are grouped for iApps and other mechanisms which are looking at partitioning configuration objects for management. You will also notice that in v11, the Folder reference is prefixed to object names from get_list. Each iControl interface has a get_version method you can check to see if you are v10 or v11.

 

 

The error you are getting states that your current active folder is "/". You can not create virtual servers in "/". That's not a valid Folder location for virtual service objects.

 

 

There will always a /Common folder. If your intent is to create a virtual in the Common partition, then use System::Session::set_active_folder method to set the Folder to '/Common' before you create your virtual service.

 

 

If your intent was to create a virtual service in a specific Partition which is not Common, then use the System::Session::set_active_folder method to set the Folder to '/[Partition name]' before you create your virtual service.
