Select secondary pool member if the health monitor fails on the main pool members
Hi, I don't know if you understand my title but anyway let me further explain:
So let's say
VIP = 1.1.1.1:443 POOL = 2.2.2.1:443 and 2.2.2.2:443
But 2.2.2.1:443 is the main pool member - where all traffic should only goes to that pool member unless when the health check mark it as down, it is the only time the traffic will pass to 2.2.2.2:443, and when 2.2.2.1:443 becomes online or marked as up again, the traffic will go back to it.
Can you share any iRule or steps I can do to make this happen? Thanks!
Without irule you can achieve this... If you have more then 2 members in group then apply priority group activation method in pool.
If you have only 2 members in pool, then increase ratio of primary member like 5 and secondary keep default. In this case all the traffic will go to higher ratio first ..
