F5 GTM Topology LB with mutiple wideIP, different conditions (pool selection)

Hi,

 

I have a new requirement for my client. Previously, we have setup for their exchange server and is working perfectly in topology LB.

 

Existing scenario (simple expalanation)

 

Datacenter A

Source IP X : 10.10.x.x , Pool A : DCA_VS

 

Datacenter B

Source IP Y : 20.20.x.x , Pool B : DCB_VS

 

Topology Design :

 

Source IP X, Pool is Pool A, Score 200

 

Source IP X, Pool is Pool B, Weight 100

 

Source IP Y, Pool is Pool B, Weight 200

 

Source IP Y, Pool is Pool A, Weight 100

 

On the wideIP configurations (WideIP : exchange.abc.com), i have selected "Topology" as the load balance method.

 

Here comes the new requirement:

 

Datacenter A

Source IP X : 10.10.x.x , Pool C : DCC_VS

 

Datacenter B

Source IP Y : 20.20.x.x , Pool D : DCD_VS

 

How do i apply these new topology requirements with new WideIP? Example: sharepoint.abc.com. Because in the WideIP loadbalancing options, we cannot select which topology conditions the wideIP should look for.

 

NOTES : Source IP X will always prefer Datacenter A (resources) , while Source IP Y will always prefer Datacenter B (resources) as their primary.

 

Thanks in advance!!!
