NimbostratusWe are trying to migrate the old pair to a new one but keep all of the configuration in tact. The new pair already have other productions configurations on them .
We assigned 2 ports on each one of the new ones to be given for the old boxes configurations and we kept the ports on new F5s side as well as the switch side then. However; after we created the Self IPs for the newely assigned ports we got reports from the storage team that thier backups are failing. Then during the troubleshooting process we discovered that the back up device is behind the new F5 with its default gateway being on of the self IPs of the new F5. The node behind the new F5 was trying to talk to another node behind the old F5 but since the new F5 is built with the Self IPs of the old F5 the new F5 was trying to route the traffic out to the node behind the old F5 out of its disabled port.
We verified that the route table inculdes an entry for a self IP which is assigned to a port that is disabled
