toggle_member.pl issue
I use the toggle_member.pl script to toggle between pool members during maintenance window every day in the following manner
1. enable staging pool member
2. disable 2 live pools so that they can be updated
after 30 minutes
1. enable 2 live pools
2. disable staging pool
this runs from a cron_job everyday but i last few weeks, i have noticed that the script fails randomly i.e, sometime the 2 live pools don't get disabled and last night, after the maintenance window, the staging pool was disabled properly but the 2 live pools did not get enabled. i usually see entries in the ltm logs that records each of this actions.
Mar 14 03:00:01 local/america notice mcpd[3775]: 01070639:5: Pool member 10.18.1.102:8004 session status forced disabled.
Mar 14 03:00:01 local/america notice mcpd[3775]: 01070639:5: Pool member 10.18.1.2:80 session status forced disabled.
Mar 14 03:35:01 local/america notice mcpd[3775]: 01070639:5: Pool member 10.18.1.7:80 session status forced disabled.
the following 2 are entries recorded when i had to run the script manually after being alerted to the issue where no pool was active.
Mar 14 03:41:05 local/america notice mcpd[3775]: 01070639:5: Pool member 10.18.1.102:8004 session status enabled.
Mar 14 03:41:28 local/america notice mcpd[3775]: 01070639:5: Pool member 10.18.1.2:80 session status enabled.
has anyone ever seen this random behavior? any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
