Clustering among VCMPs and Tenants ( rSeries )
Hello guys, we are approaching a migration from a vCMP cluster to a Tenant ( on r5600 ) cluster . VLAN/Networks betweeen old and new nodes will be the same and the migration will be VIPs based ( not every vs at once ). I was wondering if it is possible to add Tenant nodes to the already vCMP device group so that we can continue to have a synced configuration during the migration . Has anyone ever configured a mixed device group with vCMPs and Tenants running on r-series ? thank you in advance
vCMP host and guest modify management IP
Hi, I need help to modify the management IP of vCMP host and guest and migrate them to new subnet. Existing Setup Two vCMP host on different chassis both having management IP from the same subnet vCMP host 1 management IP: 192.168.1.1/24 vCMP host2 management IP 192.168.1.2/24 There are multiple guest on each of these vcMP host which are in HA setup. They are bridged and have management IP configured within the same subnet as vCMP host. vCMP guest1 management: 192.168.1.3/24 vcMP guest 2 management : 192.168.1.4/24 New Setup I want to move them to new subnet but again both host and guest will be sharing the IP from the same subnet . If the new subnet is 172.19.1.0/24 then : vCMP host 1: 172.19.1.1/24 vCMP host 2 172.19.1.2/24, vCMP guest 1 : 172.19.1.3/24 vCMP guest2: 172.19.1.4/24 My question is can we change the host IP first or guest? Will changing the host IP affect the guest? What is best practice and sequence of steps to follow?
HA setup for non VCMP
We have 2 Hardwrae models BIG-IP i5800 and 5050(c109) F5 support forming HA with different hardware models while the software versions are identical. But in this scenario, since one of the platform is vCMP and the other is not, it might not as expected. 5050(c109) does NOT support Virtualization(vCMP) Then, Things we need is that our5050(not vCMP) can form HA with only 1 guest inside the vCMP host? (our i5800 has 2 guests, but we need HA only between 5050 and 1guest in 5800), Can it possible ?Snapshot capability of VE Guests on VCMP
Hi all, I wish to investigate on the backup/restore capcacity beyond ucs backup. With VEs running on VMWare we can take adavantage of VMWare's snapshot capability to have images of the VE before we operate on it. Are there similar capabilities available on my 5250V/VCMP? Cheers, Gabe
How to rebuild vCMP guest VM - Viprion deployment
Hi, I wonder if anyone had issue vCMP guest VM failure on one slot. I have three slot Viprion with guests set to all slots. After upgrade guest started but the guest VM on slot 2 failed. So now guest is running only on two slots. Slot 2 VM seems to be completely dead: No way to SSH using this slot member IP ssh slot 2 from slot 1 not working vconsole [guest name] 2 from host not working I was not able to test tmsh reboot slot 2 from guest slot 1 (Primary) but I highly doubt it will work. Sure I will try reboot guest chassis (like tmsh reboot slot all ) but what if slot 2 VM will not boot again? Any proven procedure? My idea is to: Change guest state to configured Disable guest on slot 2 Change state to provisioned - according to info collected: VM will be deleted vdisk will be preserved I think vdisk on slot 2 should be removed - hope can be done via host GUI vCMP ›› Virtual Disk List After clean up: Change state to configured Enable guest on all slots (original setting) Change state to provisioned, I assume that: VM will be created vdisk will be copied from primary slot Change state to deployed Should it work? Any better/safer way? PiotrHow to rebuild vCMP guest VM - Viprion deployment

Threshold for HA-group within vCMP guest not working
We have a cluster out of 3 BIG-IP 5250v with vCMP enabled running 11.5.4 as the host version. We have two guests created, one with 4 CPUs and the other with 2 CPUs. The guests are running 12.1.0 HF1. HB/Sync VLAN is assigned to physical interfaces 1.x, but for all user VLANs we are using a 40Gb trunk (2.1 - 2.4), which will be shared for both guests. Within the guest I created a HA-group for this trunk, but when I try to enter the value 2 in the Threshold field I'm getting the following error message: 01071569:3: Ha group threshold for trunk 2 is greater than the maximum number of members 0. Did I something wrong or is this a bug? Do you need any further information? Thanks for your help! Ciao Stefan 🙂
blade 1 quorum state decreasing from running to quorum
Hello everybody! I have just got these logs in my LTM: "Blade 1 quorum state decreasing from RUNNING to QUORUM" "Blade 1 quorum state decreasing from QUORUM to RUNNING" This environment is a 2x Viprion 2400 with 3x Blades 2100 each. We have configured 2 vcmp using 4x cores and 3x slots each. I could also notice that both admin and vcmp CPU are very high. Maybe this log is trying to say something about it and I am not able to identify. I have already searched about it on AskF5 and here. However, I could not find anything. Can anyone help me?
