Client request sent to Single server
Hi Team,
Traffic originated from the Web server (Client) towards the DB server (Backend server).
DB server is functioning in Active/Passive mode. Traffic from the Web server is through LTM as there is no mechanism in the DB server to monitor failure of the active server.
The requirement is to direct all the traffic from web server towards the active DB server (always) through LTM unless Active server fails and standby server takes over.
It reminds of me of using a persistence profile. The only worry is that traffic will continue to be directed towards the active server even after its failure.
Could anyone suggest any better approach to achieve this?
Thanks,
Dayesh
Are you only dealing with 2 servers (one active and one passive)? if so, you don't need to use a persistence profile. I'd also consider enabling manual resume on your primary server so that it doesn't come back online automatically after it's gone down in the pool. That way you can manage it back in without having a split brain situation.
