b merge - changing pool names

Been using the b merge to add and amend pool members, and I now want to change the name of a pool. How would b merge go about this?

 

 

Regards

  • Hi Dean,

     

     

    I'm not sure there is a way to delete a pool using 'b merge'. I tried a simple test of

     

     

    Create a test pool

     

    b pool my_pool {2.2.2.2:80}

     

     

    Create an scf with a pool delete command

     

    echo "pool my_pool delete" > pool_delete.scf

     

     

    Merge the pool delete command from a file

     

    b merge pool_delete.scf

     

     

    Reading configuration from pool_delete.scf.

     

    BIGpipe parsing error (pool_delete.scf Line 1):

     

    012e0020:3: The requested item (delete) is invalid ( | show | list | edit | delete | stats reset) for 'pool'.

     

     

    Unless I'm missing something, I think the best option would be to create the new pool with a 'b merge' and then delete the old one with a separate bigpipe command (b pool my_pool delete).
