Syslog Pool for HSL logging through UDP

I have a virtual server www.example.com where I have an iRule that sends HSL (udp) to a remote server R1, the only member of the pool P1. This setup has worked for over a year. Now, I have a need to add another server R2 to the same pool P1. My intention is to disable R1 and enable R2 to send the data to only R2. I did the following but they did not help:

 

  1. Enable R2, disable R1 - data still goes to R1
  2. Remove R1 from the pool P1 - data still goes the R1
  3. Remove the node R1 from the Big IP LTM - data still goes to R1

I am at lost now. Can somebody help?

    Here are a couple of possibilities. 1.The changes you made are to a HA standby unit that you didn't sync.

     

    1. You have two similar pools with names that are very close and you edited the wrong pool.

       

    2. You need to restart the management gui service: bigstart restart tomcat.

       

    3. Create a new pool with R2 as a member and update the iRule pool name.

       

  • Does updating iRule during production affects traffic by any mean? I mean when i press the update button will it affect currant traffic if there is not syntax error.
