Windows-File-Share-Monitor-SMB-CIFS
Hi, I am trying to use the: https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/AdvDesignConfig.Windows-File-Share-Monitor-SMB-CIFS.ashx?lc=1 In the article the monitor for gtm is detailed as: monitor "smb_external_monitor" { defaults from "external" interval 10 timeout 40 probe_interval 1 probe_timeout 5 probe_num_probes 1 probe_num_successes 1 dest *:* "SEARCH_STRING" "got it" "DEBUG" "1" run "smb_monitor.bash" "USERNAME" "aaron" "FILE" "/share/test.txt" args "" "PASSWORD" "Test123!" partition "Common" } My monitor is 11.5.1 so the tmsh syntax is a little different: gtm monitor external /Common/smb_external_monitor { defaults-from /Common/external destination *:* interval 30 probe-timeout 5 run /Common/smb_monitor.bash timeout 120 user-defined DEBUG 1 user-defined FILE /F5GTM/F5GTMTST.txt user-defined PASSWORD ****** user-defined SEARCH_STRING up user-defined USERNAME f5gtm } I have also tried manually setting the debug to 1 in the script as suggested. I get nothing in /var/log/ltm and the monitor is failing. Any ideas? Thanks, Ben427Views0likes1CommentQ: How to setup a Windows Server SMB share through F5
Primary Goal: Setup a pool that has two file server members that I can the browse to for file services. If the share on member one is unavailable, traffic would be directed to the member where the share is available. Initially, I don't mind using a TCP port monitor on port 445. Wasn't sure if I should allow all ports on the pool, specific a specific port? I've played around with it but not quite getting it right. Anyone played around with this?320Views0likes0CommentsSMB monitor with netbios disabled
If the netbios is disabled in the smb.comf file, is there any way to make the smb monitor work? Right now I get the following errors: Invalid packet length, recieving SMB: Server stopped responding, session request to LTS1A failed, session request to *SMBSERVER failed. The smbclient call is as follows: smbclient -N -L LTS1A -I 10.90.43.111 -p 22 smb.conf contains: disable netbios = yes netbios name = LTS1A workgroup = LTS1 server string = LTS1 Thanks, Barbara168Views0likes0Comments
