Passing from Active-Standby to Active-Active
We would like to take advantage of Global Traffic Manager (GTM) features along with our Local Traffic Manager (LTM). Our F5 production boxes are licensed for GTM although the feature is not activated yet. We have 2 F5 LTM production boxes organized in an Active-Standby mode. Should we decide to go in an Active-Active scheme, what would be the consequence on business continuity? Is the transition to Active-Active transparent? Are there features we should enable (like mirroring) to be able to take advantage of an Active-Active setup? Is this transition risky? Has it already be associated with "losses"? How much of it is trick? What about sessions continuity?
Thanks
