Hi,

 

I am struggling to figure out a way to retrieve the irules associated with a virtual server using the SDK. I load the virtual:

 

virtual = bigip.ltm.virtuals.virtual.load(partition='Common',name='my-virtual')

 

If I interactively do the above in python and print virtual.raw I can see a "rules" attribute and can iterate over it:

 

for rule in rules: print rule

 

However, if I try this in the python script then it errors out indicating that there is no "rules" attribute associated with the virtual object. What am I missing?

 

Thanks, Kurt
