Employeeget status of members that reside on LTM from GTM
I've got a GTM (10.2.0) and a LTM (9.3.0), two different boxes. What I want is on the GTM to have the virtual server marked down when a certain amount of members are down in the pool on the LTM. I can do it like in http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/defau...itors.html or with an external monitor script using SNMP.
I was wondering if there is any way to do this just on the GTM without running an iRule on the LTM or using SNMP. Pretty much looking for the best/simplest way.
thanks,
Nathan

If I understand your requirements, I don't believe you can accomplish this using built-in functionality. I think the problem you will run into is that the GTM relies on the status reported by the LTM. And unless the LTM will marks the pool down - which it sounds like you don't want - I don't see how the GTM can mark it's status differently.
Nathan_WheelerI came to the same conclusion, just wanted to make sure there wasn't something I was missing.
thanks!
