Feb 03, 2009I work with mtorrenzano. We have Oracle RAC 10g Release 2 cluster. The issue seem to be that of service_name vs SID. Via typical jdbc url, we can specify SID but not service_name. For that the url needs to be something like - jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = hostname1)(PORT = port)) (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = hostname2)(PORT = port)) (LOAD_BALANCE = yes) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = service_name) ) )
How do we specify such URL while configuring an Oracle health monitor? The only other way around this seem to be installing Oracle client on F5 and configuring tnsnames.ora in appropriate manner.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Cookie persistence requires an HTTP profile. - L4L7_53191Aug 31, 2009

Skyout: think of it this way - if you're terminating SSL on the servers, the BigIP has no visibility above layer 4 (basic TCP level stuff). Cookies and such are up at layer 7, and an HTTP profile applied to a virtual server essentially tells the BigIP "this is a layer 7 virtual server". This is why you're not working correctly.
