Getting Started with the f5-common-python SDK

Jason, great article and awesome SDK ... i just fall in love with it.

I am working on migrating sites from one 'old' unit to the new one. Plan is to read the following information from the Old unit :

1. Virtual Server
2. Pools
3. Persistence profile
4. SSL Profile
5. Data Groups
6. iRules etc.

and create a script to re-create them ditto on the new unit.

So far I have developed the Virtual Server script and wondering if you can see if its the right way of doing it :

from f5.bigip import ManagementRoot
import getpass

mgmt = ManagementRoot(BigIP_IP, "admin", "pass")
print ("===Create a Virtual===")
vip = mgmt.tm.ltm.virtuals.virtual.create(\
 name='testvip',\
 partition='Common',\
 destination='10.10.10.10:80',\
 ipProtocol='tcp',\
 sourceAddressTranslation={'type': 'automap'},\
 persist=[ { 'name': 'testvip-Cookie' } ],\
 rules=["testvip-rules"],\
 profilesReference={ 'items' : [ { 'name' : 'http_XForwardedFor' }, \
 {"name": "oneconnect"},\
 {"name": "tcp-lan-optimized", "context": "serverside"},\
 {"name": "tcp-wan-optimized", "context": "clientside"},\
 {"name": "testvip-clientssl-ssl"}
 ] }
)

But one thing I couldn't able to do is how to disable the above VIP. I mean "state"="disabled". I tried disabled = 'true' but it errors out.

Second, I need to modify the virtual-address attached to the above testVIP (10.10.10.10) to disable "arp" and "icmpEcho" and change the traffic-group but I couldn't able to even check if it exists :

vip = mgmt.tm.ltm.virtualAddress.exists(name='10.10.10.10', partition='Common')

It keeps giving an error

AttributeError: '' object has no attribute 'virtualAddress'

Please let me know what I am missing or doing wrong.

Highly appreciate your help.

Thank you,

Muhammad
