@keshavArora, thanks for the question! If the min active members is set to 1 and you still have one available pool member in the highest priority group, then the BIG-IP will not add another pool member into the rotation. Because it has 1 pool member available (and the min active is set to 1), then it will use that pool member for all the traffic.
If the situation arises where an entire priority group is disabled and the BIG-IP needs to enable a pool member from another priority group to achieve the min active number, then it will enable all the pool members of the next-highest priority group (the entire priority group). I hope this helps!
