HA with different platform

thank you nitass.

Is is possible to do HA group between hardware platform and virtual edition?

starting from 11.5.0.

Note: You cannot synchronize BIG-IP Virtual Edition with hardware until 11.5.0.

Hi, Is is possible to do HA group between hardware platform and virtual edition? thanks,

There is no support for different platform types being set up as a pair

i believe it is supported.

They can't sync, mirror, or anything else.

configsync should work. it makes sense that connection mirroring may not work since platform is different.

F5 support talk to me

"At the very most, you can failover between two different platform types, but that would be it. They can't sync, mirror, or anything else. There is no support for different platform types being set up as a pair."

Is this really supported?

"Devices in a device group must match as closely as possible with respect to product licensing and module provisioning. Heterogeneous hardware platforms within a device group are supported."

See: "Manual Chapter: Creating an Active-Standby Configuration using the Configuration Utility"
