I have recently started working with the Nitro API with Python. In order to add some scalability to the Netscaler, I need to be able to add enabling and disabling of the server nodes in a service group. The code below was my attempt at achieving this:

def disable_servicegroup_server_binding(session):
try:


    service_group_service_group_member_binding_obj = {}
    service_group_service_group_member_binding_obj['servicegroupname'] = "testingGroup2"
    service_group_service_group_member_binding_obj['servername'] = "Server1"
    service_group_service_group_member_binding_obj['port'] = 80
    #service_group_service_group_member_binding_obj['delay'] = 30
    #service_group_service_group_member_binding_obj['graceful'] = "YES"

    response = post(session, "disable", "servicegroup_servicegroupmember_binding", service_group_service_group_member_binding_obj)

But when I run this code, it says "This resource already exists". It seems as if it's trying to create a new binding between the server and service group, rather than disabling the server. The 'delay' and 'graceful' attributes are not found even though they are shown in "servicegroup_servicegroupmember_binding" in the nitro library (so that's just temporarily commented out).

Does anyone happen to know of a way to get this disabling to work properly? The only work around I can think of is deleting the binding, then creating a new one with "enabled" or "disabled" set already, but this would be a poor solution because disabling would not be able to add the graceful shutdown.

Thanks all

Someone happened to post the same question in the Nitro API forums. In case anyone happens to need to accomplish the same thing, the answer can be found here:
