Hi Piotr,

 

Thanks for your comment. I changed all references to "HSL:: open -proto" by "HSL::open -publisher" and the VS is going down if the default pool is down and therefore GTM is detecting the VS down without having to create a "DUMMY" virtual server just for this.

 

Thanks a lot, I even created a case with F5 support and they couldn't identify the issue. How did you realize it was the problem?

 

Thanks, Wahezu.
