NimbostratusHi,
We have two BIG IQ Enterprise manager, one in each DC. Both the DCs have their own exclusive IP subnets. can we establish HA between these two BIG IQ Enterprise Manager using their Management IPs?
Note: Management IP will be in different subnet for each BIG IQ Manager.
NimbostratusBIG IQ and Enterprise manager are different product.
For BIG IQ you can use management address as HA, just make sure the latency between 2 DC should be less than 3 sec which is hard coded in BIG IQ.
NimbostratusHi Amit,
Thanks for the reply.
Could you please clarify on the 3 Sec part because in all the BIG IQ Admin guides I'm only able to find that the HA can be formed using Self IPs only.
Don't get me wrong as I'm new to this BIG IQ. :)

Nimbostratuswhich admin guide you referring?? Is it prior to 4.4. F5 made lot of changes post 4.4 release.
NimbostratusHi Amit,
I had checked admin guide 4.5.0. (https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-iq-device/manuals/product/bigiq-device-management-4-5-0/9.html)
It doesn't have any mention of utilizing management IP for HA.
Apologies for my simple questions, its just that i have to be sure before implementing it.
