Getting uie persistence info from persistence table

Hello,

 

 

I am load balancing a mysql master master cluster via persist uie to ge a single node persistence.

 

I used this documentation: https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/irules.singlenodepersistence.ashx

 

This is working fine.

 

 

Now I want to do the database backup on the pool member which is not used by this persistence via a seperate virtual server.

 

----

 

 

Write Virtual DB Server:

 

Virtual Server IP 10.6.1.2:3306

 

pool db_write members 10.4.9.9:3306 and 10.4.9.8:3306

 

 

----

 

 

Back Virtual DB Server:

 

Virtual Server IP 10.6.1.2:3307

 

pool db_backup members 10.4.9.9:3306 and 10.4.9.8:3306

 

 

----

 

On the "Backup Virtual DB Server" I want to run an irule which checks

 

which Pool Member from "Write Virtual DB Server" is currently the persist pool member.

 

 

Via command line I got this information:

 

show ltm persistence persist-records pool db_write

 

Sys::Persistent Connections

 

universal 10.6.1.2:3306 10.4.9.9:3306 1

 

universal 10.6.1.2:3306 10.4.9.9:3306 3

 

 

But via irule I got no information:

 

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {

 

set PersistTo [persist lookup uie { 1 pool db_write } ]

 

log local0. "Current Persist Master is $PersistTo"

 

}

 

 

or

 

 

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {

 

set PersistTo [list [persist lookup uie 1]]

 

log local0. "Current Persist Master is $PersistTo"

 

}

 

 

I always got an emtpy log entry

 

: Current Persist Master is

 

: Current Persist Master is {}

 

 

----

 

 

Kind regards

 

Klaus

    can you try "1 any virtual"?

    e.g. 

    [root@ve10:Active] config  b virtual bar list
virtual bar {
   snat automap
   pool foo
   destination 172.28.19.79:80
   ip protocol 6
   rules myrule
}
[root@ve10:Active] config  b pool foo list
pool foo {
   members {
      200.200.200.101:80 {}
      200.200.200.102:80 {}
   }
}
[root@ve10:Active] config  b rule myrule list
rule myrule {
   when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
        persist uie 1
}
}

[root@ve10:Active] config  b rule mybackup list
rule mybackup {
   when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
   set p [persist lookup uie {1 any virtual}]
   if {[scan $p "[LB::server pool] %s %d" ip port] == 2} {
      foreach m [active_members -list [LB::server pool]] {
         if {$m ne "$ip $port"} {
            pool [LB::server pool] member $m
            break
         }
      }
   } else {
      reject
   }
}
when SERVER_CONNECTED {
        log local0. "[IP::remote_addr]:[TCP::remote_port]"
}
}

[root@ve10:Active] config  b persist
PERSISTENT CONNECTIONS
    Type           Virtual                Node
    universal      172.28.19.79:80   200.200.200.101:80

[root@ve10:Active] config  cat /var/log/ltm
Sep  3 06:14:30 local/tmm info tmm[4925]: Rule mybackup : 200.200.200.102:80

    Hello,

     

     

    I will try to run the irule in version 11.2 with routing domains.

     

    Thank you for your feedback.

     

     

    Kind regards

     

    Klaus

    Hello ,

     

     

    I have tested the irule and it is working with version 11.2.1 and routing domains.

     

     

    Kind regards
