Lab 3.5 – delete_pool.py

In this lab we will review, line-by-line an example script that has been created to allow deletion of a pool using the command-line.

Task 1 – Review delete_pool.py

1. Open delete_pool.py in Notepad++
2. We will review the code. For brevity we have removed lines that are common with previous examples:

pool = mgmt.tm.ltm.pools.pool.load(partition=args.partition, name=args.pool\_name)
pool.delete()

print "Deleted pool %s" % pool\_path

These lines should be fairly self-explanatory at this point. First we load the pool and the we delete() it and print that we have done so.

Task 2 – Run delete_pool.py

1. In the command prompt type python delete_pool.py 10.1.1.4 test_pool and examine the output:

   

2. If desired verify the pool was deleted using TMUI or the read_pool.py script (it should return an error)
