F5 config Sync & pool status question
Hi,
These might be dumb questions.. But just curious to know the answers for the 'WHY'!
Question.1 - Config Sync in Active-Stand-by Pair
I have a pair of LTMs in active-standby cluster which are in sync. I made a change on Active unti, added a new pool. The config sync status changed to 'Changes Pending', I have deleted the pool, so the configuration is back into initial phase. Though I have removed the changes I have made, why does the LTM still shows as 'Change Pending'? If I sync the config, what config elements does my Active LTM pushes on to the standby LTM.?
Question.2 - Pool status showing green even if the members / nodes are disabled.
I have configured a pool with 3 members in it - health monitors marked the pool as GREEN. I have manually disabled all these 3 nodes -- Local Traffic --> nodes --> select the 3 nodes and disabled them. I thought pool will be seen as down, but its was still showing as GREEN.
Assuming I have to disable at the member level, I have enabled the nodes and disabled the members by going into the selected pool. Still the pool was pool was GREEN.
Is that a normal behavior that pool will still be active though members/nodes are disabled?
please suggest.
thanks.
