Are you getting an error from your code when trying to list the profiles, or just not the output you expect? Try the below which will list the profile names:
mgmt = ManagementRoot("x.x.x.x", "username", "password")
vip_resource = mgmt.tm.ltm.virtuals.virtual.load(partition='CDE-DMZ', name='test_vip-https-443')
for profile in vip_resource.profiles_s.get_collection():
print(profile.name)
`
For adding/modifying profiles I recently found that a transaction may be required to accomplish the change. Here's a sample test I put together when learning about the transaction process. I swapped out the *fastL4* profile for *tcp* + *http* as an example.
`>>> import urllib3
>>> from f5.bigip import ManagementRoot
>>> from f5.bigip.contexts import TransactionContextManager
>>>
>>> urllib3.disable_warnings(urllib3.exceptions.InsecureRequestWarning)
>>>
>>> mgmt = ManagementRoot('', '', '')
>>>
>>> my_virtual = mgmt.tm.ltm.virtuals.virtual.create(partition='Common', name='sdk-test', destination='10.1.0.1:443')
>>> for profile in my_virtual.profiles_s.get_collection():
... print(profile.name)
...
fastL4
>>> tx = mgmt.tm.transactions.transaction
>>> with TransactionContextManager(tx) as api:
... p_old = my_virtual.profiles_s.profiles.load(partition='Common', name='fastL4')
... p_old.delete()
... p0 = my_virtual.profiles_s.profiles.create(partition='Common', name='tcp')
... p1 = my_virtual.profiles_s.profiles.create(partition='Common', name='http')
... my_virtual.ipProtocol = 'tcp'
... my_virtual.update()
...
>>>
>>> for profile in my_virtual.profiles_s.get_collection():
... print(profile.name)
...
http
tcp
>>>
I suspect without using the transaction, the individual requests would put the object in an illegal state (the virtual server must have a base profile applied, but the tcp and fastL4 profiles are mutually exclusive).
Hope this helps - let me know. This code is just an example for learning a bit about transactions but I welcome any feedback if there are issues.
