Table Replace command with CMP - Connections reset

Hi Aaron,

 

 

The company decided at short notice that actually it wasn't such a good idea having all of the engineers with any F5 experience (or even logons) out of the office for the day, so I got told I were staying back as I had the most experience with iRules having done some development and had the 3 day iRules course at chertsey (Very good btw).

 

I'll double check I'm ok to pop in a sanatised version tomorrow. My experience with support with this sort of thing involves a lot of hoop jumping.

 

 

The NAME:lookup is intentional - basically the idea is that the existing connect can be sent to the cache entry, and if the cache is a bit stale then I can use NAME:lookup to update the cache for the next request - this way I don't have to hold up the connection until there is a DNS response that comes back (There doesn't seem to be any control with RESOLV::lookup, which stalls the iRule for up to 15 seconds as far as i could see, if the dns servers are down / iffy anyway)

 

 

The session table entires are indeed accessible. Reading works perfectly if the rule executes on either TMM Process, but it only seems to write correctly when its on its "Home" process, hence disabling CMP on the virtual (Forcing execution on TMM0) caused about half of the entires to write perfectly 100% of the time, and the other half to fail 100% of the time - depending if the "home" process is TMM0. Thats my theory anyway!

 

 

On a non CMP system (F5 LTM Virtual edition) it works perfectly. I could disable CMP globally on the F5, but I suspect i should do a lot of paperwork before I can do that.
