when i add new members to pool (unknown enabled node address does not have service checking enabled)

Configuring BIGIP with R12 Oracle apps when i add new members to pool i get blue mark with message saying (unknown enabled node address does not have service checking enabled) whenever i point mouse on the ip address which i gave when i try to add IP address.

 

 

Please someone help

 

 

 

Thanks

  • That message is just telling you that you don't have a monitor enabled on that pool. The ltm is unaware of the status of the pool member. Objects that have squares are unmonitored, circles are monitored and up, diamonds are monitored and in a failed status. As a quick test, add an icmp monitor to your pool, you should see your pool member become circles; green if enabled, black if disabled.

     

     

    Hope this helps.
  • If I try a different monitor such as https or ICMP, it likes it and turns green but the adfs authentication site stops working. The only way to restore it is disabling the other servers.

     

  • I know the thread is old, but I was able to fix this issue today by adding a default monitor to the nodes in BigIP LTM v 11.6:

     

    In the console, browse to: Local Traffic > Nodes > Default Monitor

     

    In the "Health Monitors", I moved "icmp" from the "_Available" column to the "Active" column.

     

    Click "_Update_"

     

    The Nodes in the Node List turned from blue to green.

      You can enable icmp as a default check for each node. I ran into this issue a while back when integrating our NMS. It would always mark the nodes as indicator blue due to individual nodes not responding to icmp. This article should help you enable this by default.

       

      Due note however, that this being enabled.. if the host doesn't respond to ping it will mark this as a health monitor. So if all you're doing is pinging the node, then it may go down. I usually have custom health monitors on top of ICMP.
