I performed a failover.
Active device running Failover script, but it fail.
There seems to be an abnormal operation on the secondary IP.
to assign both equipment 1 and 2 to equipment NIC 2.
I need reset the failover extention or get metadate(azure) information.
How can I?

Hi @JRahm 

I couldn't find a solution from the data you gave me.

but I will try the following measures.

Clear the statusdb file:

1. In the Azure portal, go into the storage account ending with 'data000'
2. Go to containers, "failover" container
3. Delete statusdb file

Hi @Hooni_L@Jeff_Giroux_F5 has an article with lightboards on Azure HA that might be helpful: https://community.f5.com/t5/technical-articles/lightboard-lessons-big-ip-deployments-in-azure-cloud/.... If that doesn't help directly, drop Jeff a comment in the article and post back here on status. I'm out on vacation after today until Tuesday.

If using the cloud failover extension (assumed here) then take a look at the tshooting section in F5 CloudDocs. The Cloud Failover tshooting section talks about resetting state file and reviewing logs...

https://clouddocs.f5.com/products/extensions/f5-cloud-failover/latest/userguide/troubleshooting.html

Also helps to know how you initially deployed the BIG-IP devices...using templates? Manually through marketplace then manually doing HA setup? Here's a tshooting section from the ARM templates github repo...

I used ARM template gitbug repo(full stack).
