Can LTM be used to configure Active and Passive Servers?

I'm not sure what would happen if you set it to 0.. I always started at 1, and the doc I have speaks to starting at one..

 

 

I would set the primary server as 2, and secondary as 1... Yeah you could use 2 or 3 for primary.. just as long as the numbers are higher for the primary.. more numbers are for more tiers.. Then set your less than attribute to 1.

 

 

One thing to note, when a group comes available all members in with that priority come online.. for example.. let's say less than criteria is met and group 1 comes online and it has 3 members all three members come online.... conversely, if you're primary(higher) group has 3 members with an attribute of less than 3, and one server goes offline, the next group would come online, and the reaming members in the primary group would stay online as well..

 

 

 

Also can I force offline the non-active server and have it re-activate automatically if the main server goes down ?

 

 

without using an iRule I don't believe there is a way to employ a server when you manually disable it.. anyone know different?
