CirrusReplace BIG-IP unit in a HA pair without service disruptive
We are going to replace a BIG-IP device that is in a HA pair configuration. We are planning to restore the configuration using the UCS file and I would like to know how we could prevent both units to be in Active/Active state when the restore is finnished.
Regards, Riad

what about forcing unit offline or triggering vlan failsafe (e.g. creating dummy vlan and enabling vlan failsafe) when pairing and then releasing after ha connection is established?

yarrowfish_9996Hi nitass!
That sounds like a way forward. Do you think that the HA connection will work while the box is in Forced Offline state?
