Background I've spent a bit of time with the iControl sdk, and, as witnessed in this developers portal, ran into some challenges and issues. I thought it might be worthwhile to line out most of my learnings over the last week or so in one...
I have a proxy defintion, and I want to do the equivalent of: bigpipe proxy 1.2.3.4:443 serverssl server cert ignore It looks likeITCMLocalLB.Proxy.set_server_certificate_maskmight be the right iControl call (I could be wrong...), but the des...
I can see the stuff in ConfigSync. But how does that relate to: bigpipe base save and bigpipe save It would appear that ITCMSystem.ConfigSync.save_configurationwith the right flag will save either, but on the command line version the filename ...
This question came up recently from a CTO at a large North American company: "Does iControl allow for layer seven prioritization rules? Bandwidth throttling?" Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks, Jeff
how do you get the state & availability for a list of IPPortDefinitions? the closest thing i can find are the get_node_address_states & get_node_address_availability functions. only problem being these functions don't accept an IPPortDefinition, bu...
I'm trying to find out all the states of nodes in a pool. I try to run ITCMLocalLB.Node.get_node_address_statesBut since it only takes a list of ip addresses (I tried to a list with use ':' but it doesn't work). If I use ITCMLocalLB.Node.get_sta...
After a fair bit of playing around with the iControl/SOAP/perl interface, it would seem that the current API is pretty well organized, but the total package is a tad slow, given that I have to go back/forth a lot, which in SOAPs case ain't pret...
How would I go about translating some predefined constants, such asITCMLocalLB.LBMethod? Looking through the wsdl file, it would appear this is only defined with documentation, not in anyway by which I could translate e.g. 'predictive_member'...
I want to do the equivalent of: bigpipe virtual 0.0.0.0:0 use pool defaultRoutePool I tried: $soapResponse = $soap->create_from_pool( SOAP::Data->name(virtual_server => { address => '0.0.0.0', port ...
How do I find which of the two appliances is active in a redudant configuration?
How fo I create a forwarding pool, analogous to: bigpipe pool fowardToHere { forward }
Just to make sure. When I call: ITCMLocalLB.Pool.set_disallow_snat with a parameter of ITCMLocalLB.EnabledState.STATE_DISABLED that means 'snat disabled' is not present, correct?
I want to get access to the ITCMCommon.OperationFailed parameters (primary_error_code, secondary_error_code and error_string), but, not being much of a SOAP expert, I can't see where the error gets encapsulated. E.g. the examples code shows: ...
This is mostly a nitpick, feel free to ignore. The ITCMLocalLB.VirtualServer.delete_virtual_server call takes a ITCMCommon.IPPortDefinitionSequence, rather then ITCMCommon.IPPortDefinition. Not sure why this is, although as a convenie...
I noticed a number of differences in the 4.2 vs. 4.5 implementations. Specifcally Monitor2. How do I find out what is/isn't in the 4.2 version of the BigIP software?
Where can I find the definitions of the error codes that the API can return? I want to e.g. make sensible decisions when a call returns 'item not found' when I do a get_list call of some sort.
Given that the Monitor2 api does not exists, what is the best way to discover all defined monitor instances, such as you can find on the 'node associations' screen in the BigIP GUI?
I would like to see a mapping from bigpipe commands to the equivalent iControl API call. Is that information available?
I have a v4.2 PTF9 and a v4.5 PTF3 BIG-IP. One of these BIG-IP is running on 5000 model. I like to tune the verbosity level of ITCM.log as well as rotate the logging. How can this be done? Please advise Gary Chen
Hi, I am an application developer, trying to create remote requests to update BIG-IP. Recently, I realize that iControl requires a full read and write access priviledged account access to BIG-IP v4.2. My IT management values the benefits of ...
Is iControl Services Manager implemented completely built on iControl when it interfaces to a device of BIG-IP/3DNS? Best regards, Gary Chen
I could not get these methods to work successfully after the release of SDK v4.5. Please comment. Best regards, Gary Chen
Please advise. Best Regards, Gary Chen
Hi, I wsdl utility found in Visual Studio .NET 2003 to compile the wsdl files found in iControl WSDL v4.5. During the course of the compilation into either C or VB .NET languages, there are several warnings depicted below. Could someone plea...
I have been looking at the apidocs (LocalLB methods) but I don't know which method is appropriate to use. Any tips would be great. Thanks, Jeff
The new spec was released recently. Is iControl compatible with SOAP 2.0? Thanks, Jeff
