pyControl v2 - get pools and partitions assignments

Can speak to v11, not v10.

First, use this call to switch into "/":

https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iControl.System__Session__set_active_folder.ashx

Next, set the recursive state enabled:

https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iControl.System__Session__set_recursive_query_state.ashx

Then use this call to retrieve the list of pools:

https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iControl.LocalLB__Pool__get_list.ashx

The pool name will be prefaced by the partition/folder.

Thanks mhite. Unfortunately, call 'set_recursive_query_state' is not present on 10.2 and there seems to be no equivalent command (GlobalLB.Globals.set_use_recursion_bit_state is not the same). All others seems to be present: setting active folder -> Management.Partition.set_active_partition and getting pool list -> LocalLB.Pool.get_list.

In the meantime I did following code:

        print '[*] available pools and partition assignments:'
        partitionlist=f5.Management.Partition.get_partition_list()
        poollist = f5.LocalLB.Pool.get_list()
        print "%6s %50s %20s" % ("id", "pool", "partition")
        for activepartition in partitionlist:
            f5.Management.Partition.set_active_partition(activepartition.partition_name)
            for pool in poollist:
                try:
                    f5.LocalLB.Pool.get_object_status(pool_names = [pool])[0]
                    print "%6s %50s %20s" % (index, pool, activepartition.partition_name)
                    index=index+1
                except:
                    continue

but as you can imagine it is taking too much time to complete (up to 3minutes with 4 partitions and 300 total pools).

Does anyone have better idea how to complete such assignment?

PS. When I go to Local Traffic -> Pools, following call is being made:

/tmui/Control/jspmap/tmui/locallb/pool/list.jsp?Filter=*

So this must be possible from iControl v10.2.x too.

RE: Management.Partition.set_active_partition -- it sounds like if you set it to "[All]" it will automatically set recursive query enabled. See:

https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iControl.Management__Partition__set_active_partition.ashx

This method is deprecated; please use System::Session::set_active_folder instead. Sets the active partition for the current user. The active partition is the administrative partition where all configuration will take place until a new active partition is selected. Each user can only be in one active partition at any given time. By default, if not explicitly set, the active partition for a user will be "Common". Note: Please note that this method is deprecated. If you set the partition to "[All]", this maps to the System::Session interface method set_active_folder("/") and in this case this method automatically performs set_recursive_query_state(STATE_ENABLED) as well. The method uses set_active_folder, so if the partition you specify maps to no existing top-level folder it will tell you the folder doesn't exist and behave in all respects as set_active_folder does.

Basically when I do

f5.Management.Partition.set_active_partition('[All]')
poollist = f5.LocalLB.Pool.get_list()
print poollist

I am getting pool names without any extra attributes or strings.
