Issue with setting up a rate class in Java

We're setting up two virtual servers with the same parent rate class, to limit their aggregate traffic.

 

 

Our first step in iControl is to create the parent rate class, then set up each child rate class and assign them the parent.

 

 

Based on the tutorial example:

 

 

http://devcentral.f5.com/Tutorials/TechTips/tabid/63/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/308/iControl-101--21--Rate-Classes.aspx

 

 

our first step was to create the rate class using the create method LocalLB.RateClass.create

 

 

However, when we create a rate class with 0 base rate, the F5 responds with the error:

 

 

Exception: Common: OperationFailded

 

primary_error_code : 17236601 (0x01070279)

 

secondary_error_code: 0

 

error_string : 01070279:3: Rate class 'parentRateClass_3': ceiling rate must be greater than or equal to 296bps

 

 

 

At that point, we haven't specified the ceiling rate. The base rate is set to 0 MBps.

 

 

See anything? thx.
