Get Metadata

(get-f5.icontrol).LocalLbNodeAddressV2.get_metadata('192.0.2.0')

Create Node

note 3 ways to make nodes, you access node name via 'AddressPort' because F5 is stupid https://devcentral.f5.com/questions/exception-when-using-locallbpooladd_member_v2-primary_error_code-17237812-0x01070734

(get-f5.icontrol).LocalLbNodeAddressV2.create('herpderp','192.0.2.0', 0)

Get All Pools

(Get-F5.iControl).LocalLBPool.get_list()

Add member to pool

$Node = New-Object -TypeName iControl.CommonAddressPort;

$Node.port = 80
(get-f5.icontrol).locallbpool.add_member_v2 ('foobar', $Node )

Get all partitions

Create pool
Note: you cant create an empty pool, you must assign alteast 1 node

}

Get Pool health monitor template

(Get-F5.icontrol).LocalLBPool.get_monitor_association(@('spencer2')).monitor_rule

Get all health monitor templates

(Get-F5.icontrol).LocalLBMonitor.get_template_list()

Add health monitor to pool (overwriting all existing health monitors on that pool)
