CirrusGTM not detecting the service as up.
Folks, We have recently provisioned the GTM module in one of our VE device. We wanted to configure a test environment here. The VE had the valid licenses for the GTM. However, the server show...
You can't just have anything as the Prober Pool Member. It has to be the server for the GTM. Do these steps exactly:
- Create Server for the GTM. So the device that you sent this screenshot from, we'll pretend it's called f5gtm1.com. You'd create a server named f5gtm1. This server will be BIG-IP System (Single). You need to give it an Address, Translation, and Data Center. Leave Virtual Server Discover Disabled.
- Then create Prober Pool.

CirrusOk so since it's a Generic Host you should only need TCP 443.
You created a Data Center which means you should've also created a Prober Pool. If yes, does your Prober Pool have a member? You should have also created a server for the GTM itself and added it to the Prober Pool.
For example:
Your GTM device hostname = F5device1.com
Create Server named F5device1 with correct External IP, translation, Data Center, Prober Pool, and bigip health monitor.
If you haven't created the Prober Pool yet, create it then perform the step above.

CirrusWe have not created a prober pool yet, so is that the first requirement?
In this case this GTM is in US and the server which are added to it are in UK.
How do I approach this in my case?

The only thing that will be in the Prober Pool is the server you create for the GTM.
For the location, you can create separate Data Centers for each location. Then you attach a Data Center and Prober Pool to each Server you create. This gives you the ability to enable and disable entire Data Centers with 1 click. So I'd create a UK Data Center.
I'm not 100% sure what best practices are for Prober Pools in your case, but I think you'd still just have one Prober Pool for each GTM, and one Data Center for each actual location. Then each Data Center needs a Prober Pool attached, and each Prober Pool needs a Server attached.

I may still be going around in circles :)
the issue I am facing is that I do not get a list of "Available" member to add in the prober pool.
what care do I need to take when creating the servers that need to be added in the Prober pool?
I have created 2 new servers(as generic hosts) and want to add these in the prober pools but that is not happening.
