Standby Unit will not remain Standby
I upgraded both of my bigip LTM to version 10.2 and now they both want to be the active unit.
I have one set with a preference of standby and the other active.
When I force the standby unit to standby it will change temporarily but then it will change to active.
I can synchronize the units using the network failover cable so they are talking to each other. The standby unit acts like it is not seeing the active unit so it changed to an active state.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mike
- hooleylistCirrostratusHi Mike,
- Mike_Rausch_628NimbostratusI do not have the serial cable.
- Mike_Rausch_628NimbostratusScratch that about the Floating IP addresses... I just read that it is supposed to happen that way. I didnt think it worked like that with version 9x.
- Chris_MillerAltostratusCan you ping the management address of unit 1 from unit 2? How about the /var/log/ltm section of unit 2? Is it saying it cannot connect to peer?
- Mike_Rausch_628NimbostratusI can ping both ways. They synchronized successfully when I tried.
- Chris_MillerAltostratusSync uses different port and different IPs so isn't necessarily a valid test. Did you see any log messages?
- Chris_MillerAltostratusCan you run "csTest.pl -v" from the command line and paste the output. Feel free to redact IP addresses if you don't want to share them.
