Redundant-Pair devices showing both "Active"

[split from an initial post, by Ravi]

 

 

Now I am facing other issues:

 

1) I have two F5 devices configured in failover mode. Earlier it was showing one as "Active" and other as "StandBy" but now both are showing as "Active". I am suspecting this becuase my "Rediscover configuration for F5 Device" task is failing. Please correct me if I am wrong.

    Hi Ravi,

     

     

    We know about this problem, when discovering F5 devices configured in fail-over mode. The initial discovery may show the "StandBy" peer as "Active" and the correct fail-over state is not discovered until a change is received. So they always display as "Active" (or no fail-over state recorded) when you initially discover. And this would stay the same, regardless if you'll force a [new] rediscovery. A new change on the device will trigger though the correct state.
