Clarification needed

[Michel_van_der_]

I'm trying to find out all the states of nodes in a pool. I try to run

ITCMLocalLB.Node.get_node_address_states

But 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_state

which takes a

ITCMCommon.IPPortDefinition

things work as expected, but off course I have to run it seperately for every node in the pool. My question, what is the difference between the 2? Will set_node_address_states disable all services for that IP, whereas set_state will only disable the IP/port pair? Do the {get,set}_state have to be used together, as well as the {get,set}_node_address_states? The docs are not extremely clear, although it may be my lack of understanding of the terminology (note: Sets the states for a sequence of node addresses vs. Set the enabled state for a sequence of nodes)

The difference between working with the Node versus the Node Address is more apparent if your servers provide multiple services. If I need to take a server out for service, setting the node_address_state to STATE_DISABLED is less work than setting the state to STATE_DISABLED for each Node (where Node is a address:service pair) when your server provides multiple services. Note that you can get/set multiple node_address_states (in version 4.5)with - get_node_address_states - set_node_address_states These methods take a sequence of node_addresses.
