NimbostratusCheck VIP availability from a different VIP Pool
Nimbostratusif you want to monitor something it needs to be in a pool. if you place monitors on both the pools you have identified I think you will find that the functionality you require is already in place.
1)VS-1 --> will only send to pool 1 if available members. 2)pool members use VS-2 as a resource(in your app) and VS-2 will not forward requests to pool 2 unless there are available members.
Or if you only want traffic forwarded past VS-1 ONLY IF pool 2 has available members, use an irule to check pool 2 health when traffic first hits VS-1.
NimbostratusHi, your second assumption is correct. I want to pass the traffic at VS-1 if VS-2 is available. Now tell me one thing.
Can I use two monitor profile at Pool-1 (one is default AND another monitor for monitoring VS-2 and port. So, both the monitor value should be 1, if anyone is 0 VS-1 would be down. So that WIDE IP top of VS-1 will not forward the traffic to VS-1.
Also what would be the iRule should I use what you mentioned.
