Would like to know the irule to redirect one VIP to another VIP hosted in the remote LB, when its pool members are down.

Hi MriMo,

when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [active_members [LB::server pool]] == 0 } { virtual vsname } }

But the VS which needs to be redirected is not configured in the same LB. It is configured in the remote peer

[Enes_Afsin_Al · Accepted solution]

when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [active_members [LB::server pool]] == 0 } { node remote-vs-ip port } }

Example:

when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [active_members [LB::server pool]] == 0 } { node 10.11.12.13 443 } }

let me try this out & know the status

Thanks  redirection happened but got into another issue.

We have SAML / SSO auth enabled. When the traffic hit the VIP, it got redirected to the other VIP, from the backend server it went to the auth & again got loaded back to the 1st VIP itself, kinda creating a loop.

Any suggestions for this.
