NimbostratusiRule for Pool member redirection
Hi, I have a requirement from my customer. Need some advice how to proceed with iRule with iApp.
Fqdn : abc.def.com (user would be accessing abc.def.com/ghi and abc.def.com/jkl) VS_IP: 10.20.30.40 Servers in the pool : over 7013,7023 10.20.30.50:7013 and 10.20.30.60:7013 (should reach to the module abc.def.com/ghi) 10.20.30.50:7023 and 10.20.30.60:7023 (should reach to the module abc.def.com/jkl)
Here is my plan please correct me if I am wrong and share the iRule: 1. Will create a VIP with all pool member on iApp. Fqdn : abc.def.com VS_IP: 10.20.30.40 2. Will place iRule to reach to first pool member for /ghi else second pool member for /jkl
Can anyone help me with the iRule and suggest if this way I can achieve the target.
Thanks, Nantu

What is with persistence profiles? Can you attach different persistence profiles, too? Or will be the default persistence profile attached to the different pools?- You can attach multiple persistence profiles to a virtual server (not a pool). You can set primary and fallback persistence profiles, or multiple primary profiles with a one as the default.
Nantu_Mandal_16Hey Nitass, I have gone through both of the solution. I will try to apply Tomorrow on my LB. I am going to configure one iApp with default pool. Also will apply one iRule to the VS. Like this: Will this work? when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/foo" } { pool foo } else { pool bar } } Or, Should I use the next one: when CLIENT_ACCEPTED { since no LB decision has been made for each brand new connection, [LB::server pool] returns the name of the default pool configured on the virtual server set def_pool [LB::server pool] } when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/foo" } { pool foo } else { pool $def_pool } }- nitasseither looks okay to me. :-)

Hi Nitas, Thanks!! I tested both Were working at my LAB setup. Today I had tested on my production works as well.
