Hello,
I’ve got a simple ruby iControl script that can successfully enable connection mirroring on a virutal server, but trying to set the state to DISABLED fails. In fact trying to set the mirror state to STATE_DISABLED on a virtual server that already has the mirror state disabled will actually ENABLE the mirror connection state!
i’m pretty sure i’m using the 11.0.0.1 gem, but i have both the 11.0.0.1 gem and the 10.2.0.2 gem installed and i’m not sure how to specify/tell which is being used. I’m using Ruby v1.9.2
Here is my sample code- the mirror state value is hardcoded inside the script. in case the wiki messes up the formating, you can find the script here: F5 Ruby iControl script that is supposed to be able to enable/disable the connection mirror state of a virtual server, but always enables it despite sending "STATE_DISABLED" as the desired state · GitHub
