Symptoms

The self-link URI cannot be used in iControl REST calls with gtm topology.

Impact

The given command is not executed and the system posts the following error message: "Topologies must specify both regions: ldns: server:".

Conditions

User issues iControl REST commands for gtm topology that include the self-link URI.

Workaround

Do not use the self-link in iControl REST commands with gtm topology.

Fix Information

You can now use self-link URI in gtm topology-related iControl REST commands. Be sure to format the gtm topology OID string using the following rules: 1) Use only a single space between each item in the topology string. 2) Use a fully-pathed name for datacenter, isp, region, and pool objects. For example: "ldns: subnet 11.11.11.0/24 server: datacenter /Common/DC"
