GTM Virtual server object down....

Hi All,

 

We have a APM device configured as a server object under the GTM servers, the Public VIP of the APM is added as a Virtual server to the APM server object with a TCP based monitor for HTTPS. But the problem is the APM VIP VS is not coming up inspite of the fact that the GTM is able to telnet APM VIP on port HTTPS & the APM server SelfIp on port 4353,443 & 22, we have tried all the options still the VIP of the APM is not coming up due to which the APM server object is not coming up need ur help to resovle the same.

  • Do you have the APM server defined as a 'BIG-IP System' type server within GTM? Is it showing up as green?

     

  • Yes... APM server has been defined in GTM ... bt it only seeing green when we haven't added virtual server in GTM for that APM....once we added virtual server,it'sgoing down as red... The GTM server entry is a public ip ehich is translated to self ip of APM at GTM and virtual server ip is a public ip translated to virual ip of APM in GTM.. plz ask if u need any another information... cheers....

     

  • Can you please post your GTM server configuration for the APM server? Please sanitize any sensitive information before posting.

     

    From tmsh: list gtm server apmservername

     

  • Hi Cary, As per your request, here is my GTM server configuration for APM server. Please ask if u need anything else.... Cheers.....

     

    gtm server /Common/My_APM { addresses { 1.1.1.1 { device-name My_APM translation 2.2.2.2 } } datacenter /Common/USA_DR monitor /Common/bigip virtual-servers { MY_APM_VIP { destination 3.3.3.3:443 monitor /Common/apm_monitor translation-address 4.4.4.4 translation-port 443 } } }

     

  • gtm server /Common/My_APM {

    addresses {
        1.1.1.1 {
            device-name My_APM
            translation 2.2.2.2
        }
    }
    datacenter /Common/USA_DR
    monitor /Common/bigip 
    virtual-servers {
        MY_APM_VIP {
            destination 3.3.3.3:443
            monitor /Common/apm_monitor 
            translation-address 4.4.4.4
            translation-port 443
        }
    }
    

    }

  • Try removing the monitor from the virtual server on the GTM. APM should report the status of the virtual server to GTM through iQuery.

     

  • Hi Cory,

     

    You are right. As the status should be learned through iQuery, so I removed monitor from the virtual server on GTM. Unfortunatly, I couldn't see any changes on the status. Initally, It goes to unknown state and than again down(blue than red). I can able to telnet on server(Public IP: 1.1.1.1) for port 443, 22 and 4353 and on virtual server(Public IP:3.3.3.3) for port 443 from GTM command line. So I guess no issue on networking side.

     

    Thank you..
