multiple persistence profile

Hi,

 

 

I've setup "source address" as Default Persistence Profile for VS.

 

Now there's need to do universal persistency for some URLs.

 

According to "http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/default.aspx/iRules/persist.html"

 

i can enable another profile in iRules by setting "persist "

 

But when i do this way, i get an error (pers_eetestlt is persistency profile name):

 

---

 

[invalid option "pers_eetestlt" must be: cookie none source_addr simple dest_addr sticky msrdp ssl uie universal hash add lookup delete] [pers_eetestlt]

 

---

 

 

Is there're any ways to use mutiple persistancy profiles with one VS?

 

 

tia,

    The persist command takes a parent persistence profile name, not a custom profile name. Using the persist command in an iRule, you can specify a new string to persist on and a timeout for the record.

     

     

    If you test, do you see the correct records added in the 'b persist all show all' ouput?

    Hi,

     

     

    You can't make reference to a persistence profile in iRule, check the release notes for 9.4.X

     

     

    Persistence profile and selection with iRules (CR85958)

     

    You can select a persistence profile type using iRules™. You cannot specify a persistence profile name. If you specify a persistence profile name, when you try to load the configuration, the system presents an error.

     

     

    Anyway you should't need here to make reference to a universal persistence profile here since you won't assign this profile to a VS.

     

     

    you should have a look at the persist example here:

     

     

    http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/default.aspx/iRules/ASP_SessionID_Persistence.html

     

     

    Have a look at the first iRule, that's how you should handle universal persitence with persist command within an iRule

     

     

    don't use reference to persitence profile in your case shouldn't be useful
