Is HA between rSeries tenant and classic BIG-IP VE supported?

Hello, Since rSeries tenants are BIG-IP images, is HA (DSC) between them and iSeries BIG-IP or standard VE supported? Thanks

Hello Amine_Kadimi,

Actually, it depends on the modules running and how the cluster is established.

For example, in TMOS images, LTM module using load-aware failover feature is not dependent of the hardware platform, so it's completely compatible.

But you should take into account that other failover methods could not be working as expected.

In the other hand, APM module could have some incompatibilities clustering different HW platforms.

So, in general, the response in 'yes', you can clustering different HW platforms.
