Configuration SMB Monitors
Hi, We are looking to load balance CIFS servers using the F5 - the idea is we have two servers, a primary and a secondary. I'd like to only use the secondary when the primary fails (using priority groups), but I'm having trouble getting the Monitor to work. We're running 11.4.1 on our LTM and I've set a health monitor up as follows: ltm monitor smb /Common/cifs_monitor { debug yes defaults-from /Common/smb destination *:* get file.txt interval 10 password mypassword server longweb03sandbo service share time-until-up 0 timeout 31 username myuser The basic check works, but as soon as I try to put in a "file" to check, the pool is marked as down. It's probably irrelevant, but I'm using Samba on a Linux box for this test - the service is "share" and there is a file called file.txt in the root folder of this share. Regardless of whether I name the file share/file.txt, \share\file.txt, file.txt, etc it won't recognise the file. Is there something I am doing wrong? Thanks!Solved1.6KViews0likes19Comments
