How's the DC1 virtual server on the GTM pool added. Is your GTM using Iquery to get the LTM's data or have you put a monitor to the VS on the GTM pool, as in like a generic host setup. If you have put like basic tcp monitor on the GTM pool, once the DC1 VS fails, its marks it unavailable and sends the traffic to the DC2 VS on the GTM pool.
Meaning what ever effort you take on the LTM to make wait for 5 mins has no effect, since GTM has already marked the DC1 VS down. Thus the GTM setup has to be understood first.
Also when you say on the LTM pool, you have active/standby end servers. Hope you meant priority group activation here.
The problem you are facing is your DC1 LTM's pool marking down noth members on same interval. And requirement is to have to wait for 5-5mins for standby server on the same pool. As a solution, you can have pool-member specific monitor assigned to the standby server in the ltm pool. Something like below, where http_1.1_monitor will have larger timeout value ranging till 300 secs.
pool my_pool {
members {
1.1.1.1:80 {
monitor http_1.1_monitor
session monitor-enabled
}
1.1.1.2:80 {
session monitor-enabled
}
}
monitor http
}
