I am hoping for some help from the community. Four years ago we implemented view 5 as a dual pod and load balanced based off of security groups using APM. This was a rough iapp at that time but we di...
FYI, the Dynamic Session Detection (aka User Persistence) iApp has been abandoned. It never went beyond RC1. At this point, VMWare's Cloud Pod Architecture (CPA) is considered mature enough that F5 User Persistence is no longer necessary.
On the F5 side, you can use GTM, APM, and LTM to configure a single namespace for connectivity to VMWare. This works perfectly to round-robbin a new connection to a VMWare Connection server. Then, CPA takes over and, if it determines the user's VDI is in a different data center, tunnels the session to the appropriate back-end server to provide the desktop.
Take a look at this article written by Justin Venezia. It was written back in 2014, and refers to User Persistence, but aside from that it provides a clear picture of how this works. The only scenario discussed that might still warrant User Persistence is for situations where the pipe between the two data centers is so slow as to be an impediment to users. However, it seems that is no longer considered a legitimate concern.
