AS3 Json for pool creation

[Lemaire_Frédéri]

Hello, 

I'm new with AS3 and I'd like to create a pool on a partition .

I used the following Json file :

{

   "class": "AS3",

   "action": "deploy",

   "persist": true,

   "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/F5Networks/f5-appsvcs-extension/master/schema/latest/as3-schema.js...",

   "declaration": {

    "class": "ADC",

    "schemaVersion": "3.41.0",

    "id": "Pool",

        "LABO-PART": {

            "class": "Tenant",

            "AppName": {

                "class": "Application",

                "Fred-As3-Pool1": {

                    "class": "Pool",

                    "members": [

                        {

                            "servicePort": 8080,

                            "addressDiscovery": "static",

                            "serverAddresses": [

                                "192.0.2.2",

                                "192.0.2.3"

                            ],

                            "servers": [

                                {

                                    "name": "myNode1.example.com",

                                    "address": "192.0.2.10"

                                },

                                {

                                    "name": "myNode2.example.com",

                                    "address": "192.0.2.11"

                                }

                            ]

                        }

                    ]

                }

            }

        }

    }      

}

This file works when executing the POST to the AS3 of my F5 Bigip but it create the pool with the following path :

Fred-As3-Pool1

4

LABO-PART/AppName

Is it a way to avoid using the Application class in the json so that my pool is located in the LABO-PART and not under LABO-PART/AppName ?

When looking at our Common partition where all our pool that have been created using the GUI, they are in the common partition without a specific path.

Don't know why Json require to have the application name as path. Is it a standard in Json ? 

How to create a pool using json AS3 without being obliged to user APplication class ?

Thanks in advance.

Have you seen https://clouddocs.f5.com/products/extensions/f5-appsvcs-extension/latest/userguide/faq.html ?

Does BIG-IP AS3 support multi-tenancy?

• Yes, BIG-IP AS3 creates and uses additional partitions to enable multi-tenancy
• BIG-IP AS3 ONLY writes to the Common partition when you specifically use the Common tenant with the Shared application (/Common/Shared); see the next FAQ entry
• BIG-IP AS3 writes to the Common partition as required for some GSLB configurations
• BIG-IP AS3 does NOT have access to tenants/partitions other than those it creates and /Common

Why ask here under another question? Better open you own discussion, so that things don't get mixed up and I am certain that you will get the correct answer really fast as this is not complex to do. But still in @Lemaire_Frédéri AS3 setup I see a difference between the server IP addresses in "members" and in "servers" and this is strange.

My bad @Nikoolayy1 - that prev comment was from a now-banned user. I can delete your (and my) reply if you like?

[Nikoolayy1]

Ok this seems the better option.

In your as3 config @Lemaire_Frédéri  AS3 setup I see a difference between the server IP addresses in "members" and in "servers" and this is strange. The examples for adding pool member names at the link below with " "servers": [" the IP addresses need to be the same as the ones under " "serverAddresses"
