LTM :: Active/Active pool member configuration

Hello,

 

I would like to configure two priority groups each having 2 pool members (total 4 servers under the same pool). let us call them Group A & Group B and Group A has higher priority than group B. I know when all the servers in Group A go down, Group B becomes active and fails back to A when one of the members in Group A comes back up. However, I do not want Group B to fail back to Group A when one of the member in A comes up.

 

Can this be done in LTM ?

 

Thanks

 

  • one way to do this is to set the members in Group A to use a special healthcheck which is set to enable TCP Manual Resume. This feature when enabled will automatically disable a member that was down once is start responding to keepalive checks again. so group A members would have this keepalive applied. Group B would not. But be very cautious as once this feature is on you must manually enable the pool members in order bring them back into service!!

     

  • I am trying to configure both of the groups under the same pool. I cannot separate the healthcheck from one group to another. So, you want me to use the custom health check at the member level ? or you are talking about two different pools ?
