I have not seen that. Thank you. I was looking for some switch to turn it on or off... Not so much. So, obviously the Auto Failback is important in this otherwise the non-Default device could wind up handling traffic until another failover event. How high a number should be set in the timeout box for this setting?

So, using an iApp seems pretty straight forward but to manually create a Virtual Server, how do I associate that object a traffic group?

How high a number should be set in the timeout box for this setting?i understand it is used to make sure mirroring data is synchronized before failing back. i think about 60 seconds should be good.

 

 

how do I associate that object a traffic group?isn't traffic group shown when configuring object e.g. virtual server address, snat translation, etc.

The max timeout setting that can be set is 10 seconds, so 10 seconds it is. :)

 

 

And no, there is no traffic group option when creating a standard virtual server. There is when you create a partition though. So, the only way I can see to assign a standard virtual server is to create the virtual server in that partition. There's gotta be a better way?

 

The max timeout setting that can be set is 10 seconds, so 10 seconds it is. :)i understand the maximum is 300 seconds. anyway, there is no validation in current release (v11.1). it is tracked as bug 364723.

 

 

Bug 364723 - Add validation to the auto-failback-time values

 

 

And no, there is no traffic group option when creating a standard virtual server.it is not under virtual server. it is under virtual server address.
