Nimbostratustraffic-group failover priority
Hi,
Is it possible to choose the order in which devices failover to/from ? I have 3 f5's in a single traffic group, 2 at our primary datacenter and 1 and our secondary. I'm finding, when I fail device 1 at primary data center it's always failing over to the 2nd data center. I'd like to get the traffic at DC1 unless both of the devices fail there. Is it possible to choose an order apart from the default device?
Cheers

Not yet.. I raise an RFE a few weeks ago for this.

arpydaysHA Order should do this
"What is an HA ordered list? If you do not want to use the load-aware feature to determine the next-active device for a traffic group, you can configure a traffic group to use a static, ordered list of devices instead. This list of devices specifies the order in which you want those devices to become active for the traffic group if the traffic group must fail over.
If failover occurs and the first device in the list is unavailable, the BIG-IP® system tries to make the traffic group active on the second device in the list. If the second device is also unavailable, the BIG-IP system tries to make the traffic group active on the third device, and so on."
