Hi,
I am using the iRule below to control server pool failover when a pool member goes down:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
rule http_sticky_failover {
when RULE_INIT {
set ::active_HTTP 192.168.222.61
set ::backup_HTTP 192.168.222.62
}
when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
pool WS_pool member $::active_HTTP 80
}
when LB_FAILED {
if { [LB::status pool WS_pool member $::backup_HTTP 80] eq “up” } {
set temp $::active_HTTP
set ::active_HTTP $::backup_HTTP
set ::backup_HTTP $temp
pool WS_pool member $::active_HTTP 80
}
}
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is there any way to tell which pool member is currently the active one?
Also, Is there any way to change which pool member is active, apart from causing a server to go down?
As always, thanks for help you can give me.

Thanks for your help (yet again citizen_elah).
Can I just type these at the command line or do they have to be in an irule?
Thanks, bye,
Les
Those are iRule commands, so they need to be included in a rule.

Les, to see your active connections from the cli, use the b conn command:
b conn 10.1.1.88
10.1.1.88:1706 ↔ 10.100.1.24:3389 ↔ 10.220.110.23:3389 tcp
b conn 10.1.1.88 show all
VIRTUAL 10.100.1.24:3389 ↔ NODE 10.220.110.23:3389
