Logging non existing VSs/Pools

Hi All,

 

 

Some LTM boxes came under our team which are running 10.2.0.

 

 

One of these LTM still generating many many logs for some VSs/Pools which have been removed (not found logs).

 

 

It's LTM pair (Active-Standby), so I tried to fix it on the standby box and it's fixed only by rebooting the standby box.

 

 

Now, coming to the active box which still has this issue. I uploaded qkview file to iHealth and this is my observation.

 

 

- At iHealth /config/bigip.conf file contains these removed VSs/Pools.

 

- From BIG-IP CLI, "more /config/bigip.conf" is not showing these VSs/Pools configuration.

 

 

So, is there any way to fix this issue without interrupting live services as I do believe that currently generated logs might affect the box performance.

 

 

Thanks in advance and looking forward to your kind help.

 

 

 

BR,

 

Abdul

    - From BIG-IP CLI, "more /config/bigip.conf" is not showing these VSs/Pools configuration.is qkview file in the ihealth up to date e.g. file generation date in status/overview page?

     

     

    in case if running configuration does not match saved configuration, there is a way to force reloading saved configuration. anyway, it will interrupt traffic.

    Thanks a lot nitass for quick response.

     

     

    In iHealth, Generation Date is showing Apr 10 2011, while Extract date is Feb 5 2012.

     

     

    Do you have any comment for the above, or should I go with the reloading Config.

     

     

    Thanks again nitass

    In iHealth, Generation Date is showing Apr 10 2011, while Extract date is Feb 5 2012.the generation date is quite old. if you have changed some configuration after Apr 10, 2011, it won't show up in qkview/ihealth.

     

     

    Do you have any comment for the above, or should I go with the reloading Config.if you are able to reload configuration (sol3030) or reboot the box, i believe it will fix the issue. anyway, it will interrupt traffic anyway.

     

     

    by the way, since it is ha pair, not sure if you failover to the peer unit, reload/reboot and failback, will it make less interruption?
