ASM on VIPRION/vCMP

I am new to ASM here, and I'm looking for some advice on best practices for an ASM deployment using vCMP.   Is it recommended to run separate vCMP guests for ASM and LTM, or run both LTM and ASM...

Jason,

 

Sorry to resurrect such an old thread. Are you aware of any design documentation around the integration of ASM+LTM?

 

If we do put ASM on it's own vCMP guest, what is the preferred method for integration between the LTM and ASM? Create VServers on the ASM box, and then use those as pool members for the LTM pools? I would think it is also a good idea to put the actual pool members in the LTM pool(s) as well and use priority group activation to send traffic directly to them (thus bypassing the ASMs) if the ASMs become unavailable.

 

Any suggestions or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
