    Hi,

     

    If I understand right both VIP uses same host name so you can try like that

    Create pool on LTM-A like LTM_B_VIP and set node IP with VIP of vs_aaa.bbb.ccc.xxx_80

     

    when CLIENT_ACCEPTED { 

    set def_pool [LB::server pool]

    if { [class match [IP::remote_addr] equals customer_migrated] } { 

      pool LTM_B_VIP

    } else { 

    pool $def_pool

    }

    }

Thank you for your reply msenturk!

It worked!

In case the client matched the customer_migrated condition, I added the clause

 

event disable

 

to prevent other irules present at the VS to be executed.

 

Thanks!

Nice to hear that.

 

Yea if first VIP has got Irules its best to disable events after the match.
