Can F5 trigger services on an inactive server in a pool?
Hi All, I received a request where the user needs to monitor two servers in a pool. On his side, the servers are not clustered but serve the same purpose. At a time services are active on only one server and on the 2nd server the service is down. So it will be marked red by LTM.
Is it possible in f5, that if the active member goes down, f5 trigger services on 2nd server and bring it up and start processing the traffic through the secondary server unless the primary pool member comes back up. Also, the backend servers do not have any link to notify the state of other server in a pool.
I can not use priority group activation here, as for this LTM requires all pool members to be in active state and f5 will send traffic only to the specified members at a time.
Please let me know if there is any solution.
