Need Help!!!

Hi Mark,

 

 

You're right that you don't need to explicitly create nodes. They're created automatically when you create a pool with members/add a new pool member.

 

 

An iRule is optional. Many VS's do not require an iRule. But if you wanted to use one, you'd create it before the virtual server.

 

 

If you want custom profiles (TCP, client SSL, HTTP, etc), you should create those before the virtual server.

 

 

Here's the order I suggest:

 

 

1. monitor(s)

 

2. pool which references the monitor(s)

 

3. import SSL certificates if you want to use a client SSL profile

 

4. profiles (optional)

 

5. rule(s) (optional)

 

6. SNAT (optional)

 

7. virtual

Thank you Aaron. Do you know of any documents that discuss this topic?

Docs on the order of creating objects? Or docs on creating those objects via iControl? Or details on whether you would want to use the optional objects in the list? Or D) all of the above? :)

 

 

Basically, you want to start at the bottom of the hierarchy and create the objects which a virtual server references. The pool references the monitor, so you'd want to create the monitor first. The VS references the pool, profiles, rules and SNATs.
