forward to a different pool when pool is down

Thanks! Does this mean that GTM will still LTM vip as down (which is what we want)?

 

 

Also, we have another LTM vip on other data center. Can we specify that vip in "Reselect"? OR do we need to create another pool in same LTM with reals from other data center and do that way?

 

 

Is there any other better way of doing this? This is what we really are trying to achieve:

 

 

1. Since we don't have write access to GTM only way we change the GTM to make other site "Active" is by asking someone on network team to do it for us. We have around 40 WIPs and it becomes very difficult that route.

 

2. We already have health checks on LTM that are http health checks. These health checks look for string say "up" for every vip. We can easily turn that off to mark vip down. This causes GTM to make other site Active. It works great. The only problem

 

is that clients that are caching connections get reset causing customer impact. We can avoid this since at this point we have healthy reals but only doing failover for the purpose of ease.

 

 

So I was thinking if there is any way to re-direct clients to the other site or something else where they don't get connection reset but transparently connect to other data center.
