Thanks for the followup Hoolio.

 

 

I took a look at /etc/alertd and I do have:

 

0 LOG_ERR 01010028 BIGIP_TMM_TMMERR_LAST_PMBR_DOWN "No members available for pool %s"

 

 

but there's no:

 

/etc/alertd/bigip_tmm_error_maps.h: 0 LOG_ERR 01010221 BIGIP_TMM_TMMERR_PMBR_BACK_UP "Pool %s now has available members"

 

 

The error number 01010221 is not present in the file. I guess I'm out of luck huh? I've been trying to convince management to approve an upgrade to 10.2 so that we can move away from 9.4.8 but they're dragging their feet.

 

 

I do see the available members message in the log when a pool member (but NOT the pool) is back up:

 

May 10 07:00:22 BMC-BIGIP01 mcpd[1802]: 01070727:5: Pool member 10.x.x.x:80 monitor status up
