Will Disabling OneConnect for a Virtual Server Destroy pooled connections

We have a situation where we are encountering some application issues and are trying to eliminate potential causes one at a time. The F5 is load balancing request to Service Bus (Oracle OSB) instances which are fronting web services hosted in Tomcat containers. I discoverd that several of these configured Virtual Servers are configured with the built-in "OneConnect" profile which has default settings, including a Source Mask = 0.0.0.0.

 

 

My question is this. If I change the OneConnect Profile on the Virtual Servers to "None" will the VIPs discontinue using pooled connects immediately or is there some additional action necessary to ensure the Virtual Servers on not using pooled connections?

 

 

I want to test with this setting off and want to ensure a valid test.

 

 

Thanks,

    Hi John,

     

     

    If you remove the OneConnect profile, I'd think LTM would stop pooling the serverside connections, but leave existing ones up. If you want to clear out any existing connections you could delete them using 'b conn' from the command line. You can check 'b conn help' for usage.

     

     

    If you can provide more detail on what the application issues are, we could help piece through the possible causes.
