NimbostratusChanging SNAT IP based on client destination IP and resulting alarms
To do this we made a virtual server with the iRule attached and no members to the server. This works fine and sends to the right place from the server pool when it initiates connections.
However these LBs are being monitored and the f5 keeps sending traps saying the virtual server has no members up. there is no monitor on the VS and no pool to have a monitor on so not sure why it is doing this or how to get it to stop
To work around this I tried to just add my main app server pool to the rule and do a ping monitor to stop the SNP trap being sent. This stopped the trap but now the iRule doesn't work on outgoing traffic!
Any help or a better way to do this would be MUCH appreciated.

- Please clarify:
The messages would say the "Pool has no active members", not the virtual servers. If so, what pool is it. What is that pool doing? if there isn't one attached to your virtual? 
Type11_8030Actually it is saying virtual server not available. I am guessing this is because it's status is blue. Honestly the only reason we have it is to apply the iRule to which then looks for outbound connections, looks at dest ip, and sends from the corrrect SNAT IP. There are no pools associated with it.Again I thought if I put a pool on it and pinged the members and got it green the trap would stop and it did, it just broke the irule working like it did before. Hope this makes sense and thanks!
