NimbostratusF5 - Sharepoint App Pool down does not load balancing
F5 is our loadbalancer for 2 SharePoint WFE's. When on Server Nr. 1 the App Pool is stopped then F5 balances the traffic to Server Nr. 2. If the App Pool on Server Nr. 2 is stopped then F5 is not red...

CirrostratusHI
I have not seen your configuration but basically you mentioned that when you stop your App Pool the monitor stays green or in an avialble state.
With that said the F5 will still load balance to server where the app pool has stopped because your monitor is reporting the pool member is available. Please check your monitor configuration you have applied to the pool. Please post your configuration if you still have issues.
tmsh ltm list virtual "virtual server name"
tmsh ltm list pool "name of pool which is configured with the above virtual server"

NimbostratusHello
It is a TCP-Probe on the Port. The strange thing the load balancer stays green. The testcase is:
Stopp AppPool on Server 1 / AppPool on Server 2 is running -> F5 switches and Website is displayed
Stopp AppPool on Server 2 / AppPool on Server 1 is running -> F5 does not switch and Website is Not displayed
Actually the behaviour should be the same on both testcases.
