Python script to create pool and vs

[Vitor_Hugo_Domi]

Hi all,

Somebody have a python script to create pool and vs in f5 LTM?

I would like test in my environment....

Check out iCR Python Module for iControl REST. This shows you how to create a VS, it's dead simple. Let me know if you have any issues.

Looks simple. Do I simply run pip install iCR in F5 bash and proceed. Does this command has any impact.

I am trying to automate objects from the scratch and confused as from where to start ( running python script in f5 bash, or running pip command, or simply installing python sdk).

Just a question but why the Python iCR over the much more established F5 Common Python SDK

The F5 Common Python SDK has a lot of learning resources here on DevCentral, a great starting point is a set of articles by Jason Rahm that can be found here:

• Getting Started with the f5-common-python SDK

• Getting started with the python SDK part 2

• Getting started with the python SDK part 3

• Getting started with the python SDK part 4

• Getting started with the python SDK part 5

• Getting started with the python SDK part 6

And has some ok documentation here F5 Python SDK Documentation

Recommend taking a look and happy Python development

You want to install the iCR module in a separate host on which you do the management of the BIG-P devices - make sure it has Python and PIP installed, then follow the example.
