f5 failover issue

I have this weird issue with f5 pair, it takes 14 minutes after failover to mark health monitor up. Not sure where to look. Any help is much appreciated.

  • This is very weird as you say, because normally each BIG-IP in a cluster checks the backends using its own physical Self IP.

     

    So normally, both devices monitors continually all nodes. And when it failover, VS are already in a stable state.

     

    Could you check the health monitor frequency ?

     

  • yeah i know, i am not even sure why health monitor goes down on failover. it checks every 46 seconds.

     

  • Maybe something wrong configured in your cluster or network settings...

     

    Could you check the /var/log/ltm file on both devices after the failover...

     

  • nothing seems wrong in the log, it shows tells that pool members were and came back up.

     

  • Hi,

     

    The standard behavior is pool members health monitor are up even on the standby appliance.
