NimbostratusSession Replication
Hello,
is there a way to set up session replication via bigIP...
I understand there are two separate subjects as far as sessions ( session affinity/sticky and session persistent/replication). -session affinity/sticky : bigIP makes sure that it sends all requests from the same user/session to the same pool member. -persistent/replication: bigIP replicate the session in all pool members, so if that member fails, bigIP will send the new request to the another member and continue the same session.
I appreciate your help in advance.

Hi!
You could setup connection mirroring and persistence mirroring, but it would not work for full proxy ssl connections and it's not recommended by F5 to do that for HTTP connections.
More information can be found here:

Hope that was what you were looking for. :)

I wonder if jaz is referring to pool members failing. Connection and persistent mirroring applies to a bigip failing and a peer bigip taking over the connections.
You've got a Pool setting called "action on service down" which might help, in certain circumstances. Apart from Reselect all the others result in a new session. Reselect is best for UDP or fastl4 virtual servers.
