SoftLayer Load Balancer Command Line API Disable / Enable Service

Question

I am trying to disable/enable a service using SoftLayer command line API on Python

The command

slcli lb service-edit local:690561 --enabled

gives following error.

SoftLayerAPIError(SOAP-ENV:Server): Internal Error

whereas

slcli lb service-toggle local:690561

works as expected.

I need a way to turn on and off service (not toggle).

It appears there is not enough documentation for service-edit available.

your error is the Identifier, for this case your identifier must be like this:

LoadBlancerId:ServiceID

So try this:

slcli lb service-edit 1111:222 --enabled

Note: replace the IDS

To see the services id in your load balancer you can run:

slcli lib detail local:1111

Note:replace 1111 with the id of the load balancer
