iControl application work takes too long.

Hi

 

I have a time issue.

 

 

My BIG-IP has:

 

241 virtual servers,

 

242 pools(each of which has several members in it),

 

222 nodes.

 

 

My iControl Java application scans the BIP-IP's object information periodically. It's operation steps and times are as follows:

 

(A) virtual server list --> 3sec

 

(B) virtual IP/Port list of given virtual server list(A) --> 5sec

 

(C) persistence profile list of (A) --> 5.6sec

 

(D) default pool list of (A) --> 2sec

 

(E) status of (A) --> 6.4sec

 

(F) pool list --> 1.6sec

 

(G) lbmethod list of (F) --> 2sec

 

(H) member definitions of (F) --> 30sec

 

(I) node list --> 1.4sec

 

 

In each step, I called the API function once and got the results in an array. That means there is no loop work. It takes 50 ~ 70 seconds from (A) to (I).

 

 

I think this scanning time is too long. Is 50~70 seconds normal for this scale? Or do you have some check points to advise?

 

 

Thanks.
