Summary

Patch an existing BIG-IP LTM pool by its full partition-qualified name. Optionally change its description, load-balancing mode, monitor, or member list; supplying members replaces the current list.

Inputs

  • Pool Name (required) — Full pool name, including its partition, using tildes as separators (for example, Commonmy_pool).
  • Update Fields — Optionally set the pool description, load-balancing mode, or monitor path. The mode defaults to round-robin when selected; available choices include round-robin, least-connections, ratio, fastest, observed, predictive, and weighted least-connections variants.
  • Pool Members — Optionally provide member addresses and ports (for example, 192.168.1.10:80) and member descriptions. A non-empty list replaces the pool's current members; leave it empty to keep the existing list.
  • Request Options — Configure request batching, whether to accept invalid SSL certificates, an HTTP proxy, or the request timeout. Defaults include 50 items per batch, a 1000 ms batch interval, SSL validation enabled, and a 10000 ms timeout.

Output shape

A single response from the BIG-IP iControl REST API for the pool PATCH request.

The source configures a PATCH to /mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/{poolName}. The response fields depend on the BIG-IP API response.
