iRules for Individual Testing of Farm Servers

Chris,

 

There's a difference between selecting persistence and actually adding it. That's what the extra "add" keyword does in the example I posted. I had guessed that you might be using source address persistence, not cookie persistence. There is no means to "add" a cookie persistence record to the BigIP since the cookie actually stores the persistence on the client. So, what you need to do instead of "persist cookie" is to actually insert the persistence cookie using the "HTTP::cookie insert" command. I'll leave it to you as an exercise to figure out how to set the right name and format for the cookie. Everything you need has been posted on the forum at some time or another.
