Hi,

 

I'm not sure what you mean

 

  • Enabling ASM in a virtual server won't interrupt traffic, except if the policy is in blocking mode and some violations are detected.
  • Disabling ASM in a virtual server won't interrupt traffic.
  • Enabling APM in a virtual server will force user to authenticate.
  • Disabling APM in a virtual server will bypass SSO profile and can user to authenticate on the backend server.
  • change module provisioning on active device will interrupt traffic because it restart services.
  • change module provisioning on Standby device won't interrupt traffic. provisioning is not synchronized between cluster members. you can then force failover to change provisioning on the other device.
