BIGIP LTM Ver 9.4.5 Active/Standby Different Data Centres
Hi There!
Was wandering to get some advice.
We have 2 6400s with Version 9.4.5 running across 2 Data Centres As independant units.
Data Centre A has got all Servers & Data Centre B has got only a few. Both Dcs are connected to each other via a 2GB Fibre link 40KM apart. Oracle Server traffic mostly hits DC A servers via the existing LTM.
To add some redundancy, was wandering if we can configure both LTMs in Active/Standby Configuration. Meaning DC A LTM as Active & DC B LTM to be Standby. With link down on failover set to 1 sec.
Plan to use 2 VLANS. 1 for Connection Mirroring & other one for Failover via the 2GB Fibre link.
Is this a good way of doing things?
Comments appreciated Thanks.
