I'm not sure I made this question especially clear. Here's maybe a better run-down of the specifics: Database server: Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 with SQL database instance F5 Appliance: BigIP 11.5 HF5 physical device Monitor: barebones MSSQL monitor without send/receive but with username and password for connection. JDBC driver decompressed to /root/[user-created folder] The end result is that the monitor does not appear to be set up correctly in that the back-end resource is still listed as being down. I'm curious what the next step for the JDBC driver is, besides just being unzipped into a new folder. Thanks, Chris
