CirrostratusCross DC failover with VS using IRUles
CumulonimbusCross-DC service failover is typically done through the use of F5's "BIG-IP DNS" (erstwhile GTM).
It is impossible to make any suggestions here without the knowledge of the particulars of your network topology.
CirrostratusHi Jg,
Yes the f5 appliance hosting this service has a gtm/gslb configure as well. Normally I create two virtual servers in the gslb section I.e. one as an internal and another as external-translation. I create two gtm pools again one external.and another internal, covering VSs in both DCs and then assign then to that particular wide-ip. However, I am.confused on this one because I will be using an IRule on the ltm to redirect traffic. Which means the VS wont go down if one of the ltm pool goes down.
TbH, if there is a document somewhere that has an example of such scenarios, even that will help.
Thanks
