LTM cluster duplicating IP

Sorry just seen the answer. So what actually happened was after an upgrade 3 out of my 6 clusters were with the common partition set to none ( actually inherit it from root), despite root partition has a default traffic group configured.

 

I had to manually re assign the virtual addressees and reconfigure the common partition to have the traffic group 1 as a default instead to inherit none by root.

 

This is weird as it happened only on three of the 6 clusters upgraded to 11.

 

Anyway that caused massive problems with the SSL vips falling the TSL handshake, to solve which I had to change the floating ip used for snat as cleaning up all the sessions wasn't enough.

 

Many thanks Paolo

    I, recently, had the same issue. 1 of my clusters, when upgraded from 10.x to 11.x, ended up with some of the virtual addresses set to 'traffic-group none'. Fixed this by setting them to correct traffic group.
