Nimbostratus
NimbostratusUnable to target another VIP or Pool
below is my setup
virtual server: myapp1_443
Service Port: 443
SSL profile: myapp_sslprofile
Pool: myapp1_pool_80
members: pool1member1 port 80
pool1member2 port 80
application is hosted on port 80 & 443 as well.
certificate used in myapp_sslprofile is bound to website.
in this case SSL offloading is working as expected and i am able to access https://myapp1
however requirement is to check if health of myapp1_pool_80 goes down requests should be
served by myapp1_pool_443
i have created one more pool
myapp1_pool_443
members: pool1member1 port 443
pool1member2 port 443
and attached irule to my virtual server as below.
when LB_FAILED {
pool myApp1_pool_443
}
even tried below
when HTTP_Request {
if{ [string tolower [LB::status pool myapp1_pool_80]] eq "down" }
{
pool myapp1_pool_443
}
}
but none of these working and page is going nowhere but keeps on searching.
as an alternate i tried to create new virtual server without and SSL profile and
default pool as myapp1_pool_443
tried to redirect request to target this Virtual server but it's not working either.
can someone please guide.

If the VIP is starting to LB to servers on port 443 then there would need to be a server side SSL profile. If you only have the client side SSL profile it will decrypt the traffic and that will work for the 80 pool members but then when it switches to the 443 members, they will be expecting encrypted traffic but will be receiving decrypted traffic.
Hope that helps! If it does please up-vote and select this answer, it'd be greatly appreciated!

AJ_382665thanks for your suggestion. i attached server side profile to VIP and tried again but no luck, still same case.- Dylan_375544
When you attached the server side profile, you left the client side attached as well right?

You need something like this. Well this is not tested but see if you can make it work.
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [active_members your_80_poolname] < 1 } {
SSL::enable serverside
pool your_443_poolname
}
}Hope this helps!
