iControl.CommonIPPortDefinition

Let's look at the get_object_status method first. The signature for that method is:

 

 

 MemberObjectStatus [] [] LocalLB.PoolMember.get_object_status( 
   in String [] pool_names 
 );

 

 

The returned value is a 2-D array of MemberObjectStatus structures, one array for each pool_name passed in with the pool_names array.

 

 

The MemberObjectStatus structure is defined as follows:

 

 

 struct MemberObjectStatus { 
   IPPortDefinition member; 
   ObjectStatus object_status; 
 }; 
  
 struct IPPortDefinition { 
   string address; 
   long port; 
 }; 
  
 struct ObjectStatus { 
   AvailabilityStatus availability_status; 
   EnabledStatus enabled_status; 
   string status_description; 
 };

 

 

In your code, you are relying on PowerShell to extract all the sub arrays/structures in it's default table formatting and PS doesn't have the TypeData information abailable to do so. You'll need to store the values in a variable and access the child elements and print them out accordingly.

 

 

Look at the CodeShare entry I wrote on PsPoolMemberControl for an example of using that method and interrogating the results:

You would look into the get_session_status output in a similar fashion to get the results for that method.

 

 

In the future, if you go into the API reference for the method you have a question about, at the bottom of the page, there are links to relevant sample code that use that method. On the LocalLB.PoolMember.get_object_status page

there are several PowerShell samples that you can refer to.

 

 

Hope this helps and please don't hesitate to post more questions if they come up.
