Hi Raymond,

 

If I understand you correctly, scenario 2 uses a single LBaaS agent to control a cluster of two BIG-IP LTMs. This is supported and tested. Standalone, HA-pair and HA-scalen operations are exercised in regression testing performed within the engineering team. I see that you have 'f5_ha_type = standalone' in your .ini file, which controls how the agent interacts with the BIG-IP(s). You'll need to set 'f5_ha_type = pair' and restart the agent. Further details on HA configuration can be found in f5-oslbaasv1-readme.pdf, which should be included in the F5 LBaaS image bundle.

 

Scenario 3 looks like the same bug reported to the product team last week. The team is currently working on both a fix and method to reproduce internally to verify the fix. We're not aware of a workaround at the moment that supports the use of multiple controllers and agents.

 

Best, Matt
