LTM show sys ha-mirror command

Hi, We are facing persistence mirroring problems (persistency is not mirrored) and opened a case with F5. I had to do following command: tmsh show sys ha-mirror Giving following result: --...

    Greetings, This seems a newer and not very well documented command, so I took a few minutes to see how this works. I don't think mirroring will work for you based on what you've shown and my testing. Here are the results:

    I initially had the "closed" status as well. I set up mirroring and it did not work. I then realized there were no mirroring addresses defined in my CM config. To check:

    tmsh list cm device mirror-ip
    cm device lc.one.test.net {
        mirror-ip 10.12.23.120
    }
    cm device lc.two.testnet {
        mirror-ip 10.12.23.121
    }
    

    Then the status changed to the following:

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Sys::HA Mirror Status
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Traffic Group      TMM  Primary  Secondary  Aborts  Overflows  Errors  Buffered  L4 Mirror  L7 Mirror  L7 Failed
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    traffic-group-1  [0.0]    delay     closed       0          0       7         0          0          0          0
    traffic-group-1  [0.1]    delay     closed       0          0       7         0          0          0          0
    

    Still no mirroring occurring. I then realized that each LTM had a different number of CPUs. So I corrected that and finally mirroring began to work:

     show sys connection type mirror
    Sys::Connections
    10.12.23.139:55523  10.12.23.137:22  10.12.23.121:55523  10.12.23.27:22  tcp  1  (tmm: 1)  none
    Total records returned: 1
