Getting Started with the f5-common-python SDK

If you have dabbled with python and iControl over the years, you might be familiar with some of my other “Getting Stared with …” articles on python libraries. I started my last, on Bigsuds, this way:...

Hi Jason,

 

I am playing with F5 Python SDK and encountered an unexpected outcome with the exists() of pool member. Here is the code.

 

On my lap BIG-IP, there two pool members with the name, "10.10.10.4:80". and "10.10.10.5:80" To check the existence of the pool member, named "10.10.10.4:80", I ran the following code.

 

pools = mr.tm.ltm.pools.get_collection()

 

for apool in pools:

 

for apm in apool.members_s.get_collection():

 

print(apm.exists(name='10.10.10.4:80'))

 

if apm.name == '10.10.10.4:80':

 

print('10.10.10.4:80 found and True')

 

 

False

 

10.10.10.4:80 found and True

 

False

 

 

Is there anything wrong with my code?

 

Thank you.
