F5 config help needed

Hi All, Can we have the LB automatically switch over from .164 to .165 when 3306 is not working BUT do not automatically switch back to .164 when 3306 comes back? We want to manually switch it back...

Habib,

One option. On your Pool Member monitor (TCP in this case I think), you could create a custom one and set Manual Resume to Yes. This means that when a pool member is marked down by a monitor and then comes back up it isn't automatically enabled but kept in a disabled state. You would need to manually enable it.

LTM log would report something like:

Pool /Common/test member /Common/test_node:80 monitor status up awaiting man resume.

Hope this helps, possibly.
