NimbostratusLDAP iApp error when using existing Virtual Server
EmployeeHi jdanowit,
I would agree with JG on this. A pool should be able to be used for multiple virtual servers if you wanted to. The error you are seeing seems to be referencing the IP of the virtual server being the problem. The system won't allow you to create two virtual servers that use the same destination IP and port. If it did allow that you would end up with two virtual servers listening on the same IP and port which would cause an IP conflict.
I also confirmed this behavior in my lab by attempting to create a second virtual server with the same IP and port as an existing virtual server. I received the same error.
01070333:3: Virtual Server /Common/test_vs_2 illegally shares destination address, source address, service port, ip-protocol, and vlan with Virtual Server /Common/test_vs.

Nimbostratusfair enough; again, this is my first time using this iApp (and my third time using iApps at all) so maybe I am missing something basic here, so let me back up a bit.
We have existing Virtual Servers and Pools setup for LDAP communication. Recently, our LDAP admin asked if we could use the F5 iApp to help speed requests, so together we sat through the building of the iApp through the console. We thought we could use existing components that are in place now and just allow the iApp to control them.
My understanding now is that we should build out a new, separate set of VIPs and Pools to use the iApp and then do a cutover. Is that correct?
