AltocumulusIs rebooting to a new software installed on a partition the same as running touch /service/mcpd/forceload and reboot?
NoctilucentMay we know what went wrong with your PG setting. How many high PG went down and what you expected and it didn't happen !!!
Can you mask the pool members and share your pool details.
#tmsh list ltm pool <pool-name>
Also share your existing version,
#cat /VERSION
Also what is the version F5 support engineer recommended to upgrade to.
AltocumulusWell, even though priority group is set and pool member 1 should be the only one receiving traffic, packet capture shows that connections are still load balanced to the two pool members.
Existing version is 12.1.3.7. We're upgrading to v14.1.0.6 but the recommendation to upgrade did not come from F5 support to fix the PG issue. We're gonna uograde to fix vulnerabilities and customer wanted to minimize downtime so they asked us if we're going to perform the mcpd forceload right after bootup to new version.
Below is the current configuration where we disabled TAPP2P:23101 to avoid having connections sent to it,
ltm pool /Common/T_23101_pool {
load-balancing-mode least-connections-node
members {
/Common/TAPP1P:23101 {
address X.X.X.A%2
priority-group 10
}
/Common/TAPP2P:23101 {
address X.X.X.B%2
priority-group 5
session user-disabled
state user-down
}
}
min-active-members 1
monitor /Common/TCP23101
service-down-action reset
}
