Yeah, i verified that taking down the nodes in the pools that are referenced in the iRule does change the status of the VS.

 

 

Is this good behavior?

 

 

I would expect the primary pool as a resource of the VS to be the determining factor for the VS being up/down or the requirement that all referenced pools in the iRules have to be available for the VS to be available, not just one pool.

 

 

I have verified that a GTM which monitors the LTM still sees the servers as unavailable even though the LTM has the VSs marked as up.

 

 

Thanks for the replies
