    Hi Aviv,

     

    There could be many reasons to LB fail-over, based on what type of fail-over setup you are running in your environment. What did you see in /var/log/ltm?

     

    • If you have "network fail-over" setup, it could be caused by lose heartbeat, Search for "high availability daemon_heartbeat" in logs.
    • If any daemon is failed, check what is configured as failed triggered action.
    • And more...

    Anyway, /var/log/tmm and /var/log/ltm can reveal the truth.

     

    Regards,
