F5 session

HI,

 

I have a cookie persistence enabled on my VIP. My pool member has 2 servers in it. when i access the site my request goes to the first server. I make this first server down & when i refresh the page my session breaks & goes to sorry page. if i open the same site in new tab then it goes to the other server.

 

Is this the expected behaviour of F5 ? Does the session breaks when cookie is enabled & the server is made down ? if yes can some one give the explanation why does my session breaks ?

 

Cheers, Peru 32 476969200

  • Hi, yes it's normal behaviour, The BIG-IP system takes no action on existing connections, until sessions timeouts end. How to manage this SOL 15095

  • will that move my connection to the other active server without giving sorry page ?

     

  • thanks. I have done the change & asked my application team to do the testing. I will keep you posted with the result.

     

    Thanks once again.
