SUMMARY

When trying to add a GTM pool member to an existing pool the module fails

- name: Create BIG-IP DNS pool member (inner loop)
  bigip_gtm_pool_member:
    server: "{{ bigip_dns }}"
    server_port: "{{ bigip_dns_port }}"
    user: "{{ bigip_user }}"
    password: "{{ bigip_adminpass }}"
    validate_certs: "no"
    partition: "{{ bigip_dns_partition }}"
    server_name: "BIGIP_DC_{{ dcname }}"
    virtual_server: "/{{ application }}/{{ inner_item }}__routestatus"
    type: a
    pool: "{{ inner_item }}_pool"
    state: present
  delegate_to: localhost
  with_items: "{{ wideips }}"
  loop_control:
    loop_var: inner_item

It fails with the following error:

InvalidInstanceNameOrFolder(error_message)\nicontrol.exceptions.InvalidInstanceNameOrFolder: instance names and partitions cannot contain '/', but it's: BIGIP_DC_onp:/sock-shop/f5plaza.dc-onp.mcd.bd.f5.com__routestatus

}

Although the error is about using "/", just in case I want to show that the virtual-server actually exists:

[root@dns:Active:Standalone] config # tmsh list gtm server BIGIP_DC_onp | grep /sock-shop/f5plaza.dc-onp.mcd.bd.f5.com__routestatus
        /sock-shop/f5plaza.dc-onp.mcd.bd.f5.com__routestatus {

[alonsocamaro]

Btw, it also errors without having '/' at the beginning:

TASK [setup-dns : Create BIG-IP DNS pool member (inner loop)] ******************
20:56:28
An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: icontrol.exceptions.InvalidInstanceNameOrFolder: instance names and partitions cannot contain '/', but it's: BIGIP_DC_onp:sock-shop/f5plaza.dc-onp.mcd.bd.f5.com__routestatus

this is a bug in the f5-sdk

[caphrim007]

this should now be fixed in f5-sdk devel
