Bigip runs on Oracle Virtual Server

Greetings,

 

I installed and configured a BigIp LTM VE on a Virtual Machine hosted by Oracle Virtual Server. I use it to mimic a production environment into a development lab for testing and troubleshooting. For this contest, I started by installing BIGIP version 10.2.2 on a bare VM with 4 VNics attached to 3 separate subnets a 80 GB VHD, 1 cpu and 2GB of RAM. I setup 3 Virtual Servers, 3 pools and 3 nodes. 2 Virtual Servers load balancing with iRules and 1 load balancing with a pool. Here is my bigip.conf, bigip_base.conf and some stats: =============================================================== [root@BIGIP:Active] config cat bigip.conf datastor { low water mark 80 high water mark 90 } deduplication {} shell write partition Common configsync { password crypt "ea2l7mE]h_D?e92qlj5;;SeURUK5N)@EUwZ=cV>m>J4iF5I" } monitor test_monitor { defaults from http recv "TEST SITE" send "GET /test.html\n\n" } node 10.106.208.13 {} node 10.106.208.16 {} node 10.106.208.17 {} pool Pool_Server13 { monitor all http members 10.106.208.13:ddi-tcp-1 {} } pool Pool_Server17 { monitor all http members 10.106.208.17:ddi-tcp-1 {} } pool Pool_server16 { monitor all http members 10.106.208.16:ddi-tcp-1 {} } pool test_web_pool { monitor all test_monitor &nbs! p; members { 10.106.208.13:ddi-tcp-1 {} 10.106.208.16:ddi-tcp-1 {} 10.106.208.17:ddi-tcp-1 {} } } rule Test_iRule { when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] eq "server13h.baboo.net" } { pool Pool_Server13 } elseif { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] eq "server17h.baboo.net" } { pool Pool_Server17 } } } rule hh_test_irule { when HTTP_REQUEST { if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/server13" } { pool Pool_Server13 } elseif {[HTTP::u! ri] starts_with "/server17" } { pool Pool_Server17 } else { discard } } } virtual test_hh_irule_vip { snat automap destination 10.106.207.232:http ip protocol tcp rules hh_test_irule profiles { http {} tcp {} } } virtual test_irule_vip { snat automap destination 10.106.207.231:http ip protocol tcp rules Test_iRule profiles { http {} tcp {} } } virtual test_web { snat automap ! pool test_web_pool destination 10.106.207.230:http ip protocol tcp } node * monitor icmp =============================================================== [root@BIGIP:Active] config cat bigip_base.conf mgmt 10.106.207.5 { netmask 255.255.255.0 } mgmt route default inet { gateway 10.106.207.1 } stp { config name none } stp instance 0 { inter! faces { 1.1 { &nb! sp; external path cost 200K internal path cost 200K } 1.2 { external path cost 200K internal path cost 200K } 1.3 { external path! cost 200K internal path cost 200K } } vlans { Vlan233 Vlan234 Vlan236 } } self allow { default { tcp ssh tcp domain tcp snmp tcp https tcp f5-iquery udp domain udp snmp udp efs udp cap udp f5-iquery proto ospf } } shell write partition Common vlan Vlan233 { tag 4094 interfaces 1.1 } vlan Vlan234 { tag 4093 interfaces 1.2 } vlan Vlan236 { tag 4092 interfaces 1.3 } self 10.106.208.5 { netmask 255.255.255.192 vlan Vlan234 allow default } self 10.106.208.155 { netmask 255.255.255.224 vlan Vlan236 allow default } system { gui setup disable hostname "BIGIP.baboo.net" } ================================================================ [root@MMPDBIGIP:Active] log b virtual show VIRTUAL ADDRESS 10.106.207.232 UNIT 1 | ARP enable | (cur, max, limit, tot) = (0, 1, 0, 15) | (pkts,bits) in = (82, 138704), out = (64, 291104) +-> VIRTUAL test_hh_irule_vip SERVICE http | PVA acceleration none | (cur, max, limit, tot) = (0, 1, 0, 15) | (pkts,bits) in = (82, 138704), out = (64, 291104) | requests (total) = 25 +-> RULE hh_test_irule +-> HTTP_REQUEST 31 total 0 fail 0 abort VIRTUAL ADDRESS 10.106.207.231 UNIT 1 | ARP enable | (cur, max, limit, tot) = (0, 5, 0, 36) | (pkts,bits) in = (162, 234968), out = (99, 125816) +-> VIRTUAL test_irule_vip SERVICE http | PVA acceleration none | (cur, max, limit, tot) = (0, 5, 0, 36) | (pkts,bits) in = (162, 234968), out = (99, 125816) | requests (total) = 31 +-> RULE Test_iRule +-> HTTP_REQUEST 53 total 0 fail 0 abort VIRTUAL ADDRESS 10.106.207.230 UNIT 1 | ARP enable | (cur, m! ax, limit, tot) = (0, 3, 0, 22) | (pkts,bits) in = (167, 248352), out = (104, 289736) +-> VIRTUAL test_web SERVICE http | PVA acceleration none | (cur, max, limit, tot) = (0, 3, 0, 22) | (pkts,bits) in = (167, 248352), out = (104, 289736) | requests (total) = 47 +-> POOL test_web_poo! l LB METHOD round robin MIN/CUR ACTIVE MEMBERS 0/3 | (cur, max, limit, tot) = (0, 4, 0, 17) | (pkts,bits) in = (157, 219496), out = (70, 278184) +-> POOL MEMBER test_web_pool/10.106.208.13:ddi-tcp-1 active,up | | session enabled priority 0 ratio 1 | | (! cur, max, limit, tot) = (0, 2, 0, 7) | | (pkts,bits) in = (70, 102120), out = (32, 105968) | | requests (total) = 22 +-> POOL MEMBER test_web_pool/10.106.208.16:ddi-tcp-1 active,up | | session enabled priority 0 ratio 1 | | (cur, max, limit, to! t) = (0, 1, 0, 7) | | (pkts,bits) in = (53, 65888), out = (21, 93536) | | requests (total) = 14 +-> POOL MEMBER test_web_pool/10.106.208.17:ddi-tcp-1 active,up | session enabled priority 0 ratio 1 | (cur, max, limit, tot) = !
