Hi,

I have a TCL script which will help me create pool. Now I am creating another tcl script for VIP creation and i want to call the pool creation script inside the VIP creation scripts.

is there any way to do that?

Thanks, Ashish

tcl 8.5 running on a laptop or using tcl on the bigip? generally, you can use the command “source”. But I’m not sure that would be what you want. Please post your scripts and we can take a look.

I am assuming you are talking about a TCL script running on a separate server/computer and not the iRule. You probably need “source” or “exec” for it depending on your requirements. I would also recommend exploring the option of using a master bash script that calls multiple TCL scripts.

on bigip. i’m not sure about the tcl version. the script is huge. i’ll post the part which i had error. proc script::run {} { set poolname [lindex $tmsh::argv 3] foreach {pool} [tmsh::get_config \ltm pool] { if {[tmsh::get_name $pool] ne $poolname} { puts “====================================================================” puts “$poolname not found \n” puts -nonewline "Do you want to create this pool?(Y/N): " flush stdout set createpool [gets stdin] if {$createpool eq “Y”} { tmsh::run cli script scriptname.tcl } Thanks in advance. :slight_smile:
