@ Brad....For testing I changed the Virtual Server IP and now I am unable to ping even though I can see old IP under Virtual IP Address List. I didn't delete from there. Why any idea?
- Brad_ParkerNov 23, 2015CirrusThat's because there are no associated virtual servers with that virtual address anymore. If you go look at that virtual address you will most likely see it disabled with a red diamond on it. That virtual address will not be auto deleted anymore since you changed your virtual server that it was related to. If you would have just deleted that virtual server the virtual address would have been auto deleted as well.
- Tabish_Mirza_12Nov 23, 2015Nimbostratus@ Brad. Yes I have checked it shows disabled with red diamond after changing the IP address with new IP. Moreover, I need advise about migration. Actually we are migrating the services from old BIG-IP LTM applinaces to New BIG-IP LTM appliance. We have configured the services (VIP, Pool, Pool Members, Nodes, Monitor & Persistance) on New BIG-IP LTM appliances according to existing Old BIG-IP configuration with test Virtual Servers IP. We have tested the services with New test VS IP's & its works fine. Now we want to move VS IP from old BIG-IP to New BIG-IP without deleting the VS from Old BIG-IP. Could you please advise how we can achieve this ?
- Brad_ParkerNov 23, 2015CirrusYou can go into each virtual address and disable ARP so it no longer advertises to the switch that it owns that IP address.
- Renato_166638Nov 23, 2015NimbostratusIf you are migrating one VS at a time I would proceed as suggested by Brad. Otherwise, if you are migrating the whole device in one go, could be easier simply by forcing the offline state, a single command that affects all the configuration.
