Set-Pool requires loadBalancingMode parameter

[JeffryPaul]

The following custom code snippet fails on the line containing Set-Pool, prompting for the LoadBalancingMode parameter. This parameter was already defined with 'New-Pool', so it shouldn't prompt again on 'Set-Pool'. As a workaround, I edited Set-Pool.ps1 and removed the [ValidationSet] parameter setting. ` $Status = New-Pool -F5Session $F5Session -Name $PoolName -LoadBalancingMode "round-robin" if ($Status) { Write-Information "Pool ($($PoolName)) created"

        # Update pool with optional settings
        $NewPool = Get-Pool -F5Session $F5Session -Name $PoolName
        $NewPool.slowRampTime = $SlowRamptime
        $NewPool.serviceDownAction = $ActionOnServiceDown
        $NewPool | Set-Pool
        $NewPool | Add-PoolMonitor -Name $Monitor
        Write-Information "Pool settings updated"
    }
    else
    {
        Write-Warning "Error creating Pool ($($PoolName))"
        Break
    }

Hi, @JeffryPaul. Sorry for the slow reply. I'm looking and this now and attempting to repro. When I use your snippet, I don't get prompted for a LoadBalancingMode parameter. The pool object being passed to the function does have a loadBalancingMode property and the function should be able to read that.

What version LTM are you connecting to?

[JeffryPaul]

LTM v15.1.7-0.0.6

I'm using Powershell 5.1. Should I be using Powershell 7 instead?

Jeff

Hi, @JeffryPaul , No, the version of PS shouldn't be an issue at all. I'm testing with 5.0. It's a strange one. You are using the latest version of the F5-LTM PS module? I wonder if it's not using the InputObject parameter set? I'll have to give this some more thought on how else to repro.

Hi, @JeffryPaul .

Please try this: add the following snippet to Set-Pool.ps1 at line 90 (just below " process {")

        Write-Verbose "bound params"
        foreach($psbp in $PSBoundParameters.GetEnumerator())
        {
            Write-Verbose ("Key={0} Value={1}" -f $psbp.Key,$psbp.Value)
        }

After a forced reimport of the module, set your verbose preferences to Continue and see what is printed out. I got: VERBOSE: bound params VERBOSE: Key=InputObject Value=System.Management.Automation.PSObject[] VERBOSE: Key=Partition Value=Common VERBOSE: Key=Name Value=TestPool1234

The input object has the loadBalancingMode property in it. It will be interesting to see if that shows up.
