Active-Standby: clone connection table:

Is there a way to induce the Active unit to clone its connection table to the Standby? 11.2.1 HF10.

 

Normally connection mirroring happens per-packet, building up the connection table on the Standby over time. If the Standby reboots it comes back up with no knowledge of connections previously created on the Active unit. This causes problems for some of our mirrored nPath virtuals when a subsequent failover finds the Standby unprepared to process connections that had been created prior to reboot.

  • A case with with F5 yielded the answer: you can't. C1623053. This apparently works for mirrored persistence (but is broken in 11.2 and not fixed until 11.5.?) but not at all for mirrored connections.
