If I use the REST API and create a pool can I have a different Name than address? I looked at the example but when you run it the member in the pool shows up as the IP in both the node name field and...

curl -sk -u 'admin:admin' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST  -d '{"name":" VCS.com:80"}'

    So, this adds the member, but returns a 404, which kind of screws up any automation that tries to manage members.

     

    ver=11.5.4

     

    Is this fixed in a later release?

    Returning a 404 after successfully adding a member is definitely a bug, however, there is a workaround: add a "partition" attribute:

     

    curl -sk -u 'admin:admin' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST https://x.x.x.x/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/test-pool/members -d '{"name":" VCS.com:80", "partition":"Common"}'

     

    Until they fix this, just modify your code to add the "partition" for any POSTs to members/.

    edit: I just found another post that references this same behavior in v12.0.
