Pool choosing by iRule is wrong, when objects have been named same in different partitions.

Hi AlexBCT,

I really appreciate it and thank you for your quick reply .

Your description and linked article explains partially to me and make me knowledge about possibility to reference in iRule between partitions .

I tried your advice and I can confirm that it works of course - prefixing by partition name chooses the right pool,

The same effect may be achived by renamig of pools ( for example prep-test-case-pool )

But still it is strange that decision is made randomly, choosing pool from the same partition ( prep ) and sometimes from another partition ( fix ).

I thought if irule and pool resides in the same partition ( prep ), will have its partition context and will refer to right object in the same partition - this is what I would expect .

In my experience with iRule's ( over the years ), I have never used name of the partition as prefix before any object . But also I have never had case with the same names of pools , irules , virtuals in different partitions .

I understand all about referencing from iRule to objects in different partitions , but still I thing it is wrong and I thing that partition context should be used by code of iRule .

I suspect that when I have two irules in different partition with the same name i and code inside , this code has been compiled and used by CPUs randomly - something like that.

Anyway , again I would like to thank you to your answer .

Best regards,
