Seemless failover - tcp session

[AlexS_yb]

Hi

Wanted to do ltm + apm seemless failover

Thought I could do it with conection mirroring turned on but

https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K09115252

seems to suggest you can't have APM fail over and connection fail over .

so my long lived tcp session have to die....

Any one know of a way to do this with out killing the tcp session !!!!

@AlexS_yb Connection mirroring typically handles this but some connections just wont failover without some sort of disruption. Why the necessity to have absolutely zero downtime for TCP connections?

[AlexS_yb]

Its a requirement from the devs / business. We need to provide a seemless failover

The PA's do it and the F5's LTM seem to do it, its just when you APM that it will not do it.

Seems like the current suggest from the current support engineer is

I need to setup

VS with LTM + connection mirroring

VS with APM with APM HA

Wondering what type server should I setup the LTM vs and it really seems like overkill
