F5 and Microsoft Dynamics AOS

Good Evening,

 

 

I have the following problem, I am trying to setup Microsoft Dynamics 2009 AX Load ballancing, I wish to configure Load ballancing on the AOS tier.

 

 

Microsoft makes lots of refrences to using a dedicated server to do this but this defeats the object when you have F5 devices.

 

 

I have setup the VIPS all OK on firewalls but I receive the following

 

 

Connection with the Application Object Server could not be established.

 

 

All health monitors are up etc and connectivity is good.

 

 

Any ideas? Any one got this working?

 

 

Regards,

 

 

Greg.

    I'm having a similar problem... Trying to LB DAX AOS v4.0... Servers are:

     

     

    - Windows 2K8 Enterprise (virtual server)

     

    - Windows 2K3R2 (physical server)

     

     

    When I introduced the second (physical server), I started getting a "Bad Request Invalid Hostname" error... Remove the 2nd server and the problem goes away...

     

     

    I've tried setting the default cookie-persistence but didn't work... Just wondering if there's any deployment recommendations that others have used..

    Hi Greg,

     

     

    Sorry to hear you're having difficulties.

     

     

    Have you captured any tcp dumps to see what the call might be doing from the BIG-IP to the AOS? Also, are there multiple RPC calls being made, or just a couple here and there?

     

     

    Cheers,
