Force to standby with HA Group
Hi there, we have a LTM 4000s with version 11.4.1 HF3 and two LACP channels (each with 2 interfaces), one dedicated for heartbeat/sync/mirroring and the other as trunk with all the productive VLANs. For the scenario that the productive trunk fails, but the heartbeat is still alive, we configured a HA group for the productive trunk. We made several tests with disabling different ports on the switches. The behavior was always fine and as expected, especially the automatic failover based on the HA group if the productive trunk fails. But what we found out then, it's not possible to manually switch back. The active unit shows standby for a few seconds and then automatically comes back to active. The other device stays standby all the time (at least what we see via the WebGUI). First we thought it might be an issue, that the heartbeat trunk is not involved in the HA group, but even with both trunks included we have the same issue. But if we just disable the Active Bonus, the manual failover works fine. We have setup the following: sys ha-group ha_group { active-bonus 50 trunks { channel_1.1_1.2_heartbeat { weight 10 } channel_1.3_1.4_production { weight 90 } } } Any idea what's the reason for this? Thank you! Ciao Stefan :)
