How do I specify the equivalent of 0.0.0.0 from SOAP/perl?
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 => '0' }), SOAP::Data->name(unit_id => 1), SOAP::Data->name(pool_name => 'defaultRoutePool')); But I get "IP is not valid on network, address/mask do not conform to true IP" Thoughts?Another SOAP::Lite newbie question
How would I go about translating some predefined constants, such as ITCMLocalLB.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' to '7'. stubmaker.pl was no help. Thoughts?Clarification needed
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 )Hw do I save configurations on a bigip?
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_configuration with the right flag will save either, but on the command line version the filename is different. Can I ommit the filename to use the default? If I don't specify a fully qualified path, will it go in /config?Equivalent of 'serverssl server cert ignore' in proxy?
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 like ITCMLocalLB.Proxy.set_server_certificate_mask might be the right iControl call (I could be wrong...), but the description of the mask in the docs ( The mask specifying how server certificate is handled ) is not too informative. Is this the right call, and where do I find the definition of the what the mask does?
Problem accesing get_cpu_metrics() function
I'm trying to access get_cpu_metrics() function, but when I send the message to the Big-IP, it throws an exception: SOAP-ENV:Server : ITCMCommon::OperationFailed Exception caught on ITCMSystem::SystemInfo::get_cpu_metrics(). primary_error_code : 385 secondary_error_code: 0 error_string : This system does not support reading platform hardware information. I'm using BIG-IP Kernel 4.5PTF-06 Build25. What's happening? Thanks: MiguelProblem with get_all_virtual_server_statistics
I'm writing a little program taht retrieve statiscis information from the BigIp and stores it in a database in order to generate graphics of traffic and number of connections. I have no problem retrieving statistics of the pools and the node servers, but when I try to get the virtual server's statistics a SOAP Exception is throw. I don´t know what can be wrong. I have wrote a simple function that construct automatically the SOAP message, and all the functions I have tried with this method are working. The error is: [SOAPException: faultCode=SOAP-ENV:Client; msg=For input string: "18446744069414584320"; targetException=java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "18446744069414584320"] Thanks for the help: Miguel
Service statistics
Hi, Does the get_statistics method for LocalLB/Services work in BIG-IP v4.2? If so, can you tell me what I’m doing wrong? I know there are stats for service 80, but when I run my script I get all zero’s. If not, how can I get the statistics for a given service? Using the trace gives no insight. Any suggestions? Thanks Anthony Output from b service 80 show bipmkoqa01:~ b service 80 show SERVICE 80 tcp enabled timeout 1005 udp enabled timeout 60 (cur, max, limit, tot, reaped) = (27, 834, 0, 1696219, 1773) (pckts, bits) in = (13794715, 19070346376), out = (13972196, 122260660800) Output from my script Sleeping for 5 seconds, please wait....
