Examples

LBServer

This example shows how to use the LBServer resource within the context of a POSHOrigin configuration file.

resource 'POSHOrigin_NetScaler:LBServer' 'serverxyz' @{
    Ensure = 'Present'
    NetScalerFQDN = 'mynetscaler.mydomain.com'
    IPAddress = '192.168.100.100'
    Comments = 'This is a comment'
    TrafficDomainId = 1
    State = 'ENABLED'
    Credential = Get-POSHOriginSecret 'pscredential' @{
        username = 'administrator'
        password = 'K33p1t53cr3tK33p1t5@f3'
    }
}

This example show how to use the LBServer resource within a traditional DSC configuration file.

Configuration Example_LBServer {
    param(
        [string[]]$NodeName = 'localhost',

        [Parameter(Mandatory)]
        [string]$Name,

        [Parameter(Mandatory)]
        [string]$IPAddress,

        [Parameter(Mandatory)]
        [string]$NetScalerFQDN,

        [Parameter(Mandatory)]
        [pscredential]$Credential,

        [string]$Comments,

        [int]$TrafficDomainId,

        [string]$State
    )

    Import-DscResource -Name LBServer -ModuleName POSHOrigin_NetScaler

    Node $NodeName {
        LBServer "Create$Name" {
            Ensure = 'Present'
            Name = $Name
            IPAddress = $IPAddress
            NetScalerFQDN = $NetScalerFQDN
            Credential = $Credential
            Comments = $Comments
            TrafficDomainId = $TrafficDomainId
            State = $State
        }
    }
}

LBVirtualServer

This example shows how to use the LBVirtualServer resource within the context of a POSHOrigin configuration file.

    Comments = 'This is a comment'
    IPAddress = '192.168.100.101'
    Port = 80
    ServiceType = 'HTTP'
    LBMethod = 'ROUNDROBIN'    
    State = 'ENABLED'
    Credential = Get-POSHOriginSecret 'pscredential' @{
        username = 'administrator'
        password = 'K33p1t53cr3tK33p1t5@f3'
    }
}
