NimbostratusCreating proxy on unit 2 and saved config question
I'm at home and don't have access to all my stuff, so this is from
the top of my head, forgive me if it's a little hazy.
I was trying to create a proxy with ITCMLocalLB.Proxy.create. When I
was doing that on unit 2, I got an error indicating the unit was invalid.
(I don't have the actual message here). Of course that makes no sense,
since I don't actually specify a unit. Is this a bug?
I then went and used ITCMLocalLB.Proxy.create_ex, and after some
experimentation got it to work identically (specifying the correct unit off
course). After I did that, I noticed that the specification of all port numbers
in the /config/bigip.conf changed from numeric to the text equivalent, e.g.
(in a pool) from 'member 1.2.3.4:80' to 'member 1.2.3.4:http'. As far as I
know, that's not a problem, but it seems strange. Any thoughts on that?
- Unit 2 only exists when you are running an Active/Active configuration. It's used to specify which of the 2 active units a virtual server should live on if the unit has not failed over.
The port numbers are looked up in /etc/services and translated when the configuration is saved. That's normal behaviour.
