Redirect to Maintenance page iRule help

Hi J Saunders,

- Will the above work for both HTTP and HTTPS VIP's?

Yes.

- Is 'server pool' an actual F5 generic command? Or should I be specifying the pool name

Yes. In this situation you are specifically using LB::server pool, which returns the pool of the currently selected member.

- If 'server pool' is an F5 command, then I assume I can use this 1 iRule for all of my VIPs

Yes. It would dynamically detect the information.

If you would like to verify you can add a logging statement and then look in your LTM Log:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [active_members [LB::server pool]] == 0 } {
log local0. "Server Pool:  [LB::server pool]"
HTTP::redirect "http://www.google.com"
}
}

Hope this helps.
