BIG-IP VPR-B4450N max connections support
Hi we need to know what is the maximum number of connections that the BIG-IP VPR-B4450N card supports. We currently have it in balancer mode for TCP/UDP connections to servers behind the f5. The connections are DNS requests. We want to know how many connections per second it supports. We understand that this information is in the F5 documentation but it is not clear to us if we are understanding it correctly. Currently the F5 reports 600K New connections for second. Thanks a lot.
How to rebuild vCMP guest VM - Viprion deployment
Hi, I wonder if anyone had issue vCMP guest VM failure on one slot. I have three slot Viprion with guests set to all slots. After upgrade guest started but the guest VM on slot 2 failed. So now guest is running only on two slots. Slot 2 VM seems to be completely dead: No way to SSH using this slot member IP ssh slot 2 from slot 1 not working vconsole [guest name] 2 from host not working I was not able to test tmsh reboot slot 2 from guest slot 1 (Primary) but I highly doubt it will work. Sure I will try reboot guest chassis (like tmsh reboot slot all ) but what if slot 2 VM will not boot again? Any proven procedure? My idea is to: Change guest state to configured Disable guest on slot 2 Change state to provisioned - according to info collected: VM will be deleted vdisk will be preserved I think vdisk on slot 2 should be removed - hope can be done via host GUI vCMP ›› Virtual Disk List After clean up: Change state to configured Enable guest on all slots (original setting) Change state to provisioned, I assume that: VM will be created vdisk will be copied from primary slot Change state to deployed Should it work? Any better/safer way? Piotr

Viprion mgmt mac address
Hello, I have a viprion 4400 with one blade in version 11.6.0. I have vcmp provisionned and one vguest in version 11.6.0 also. I pinged the Hypervisore's mgmt while taking a pcap on the Hypervisore. I noticed that the mac address I saw in the pcap and the mac address in the output of the command show net interface all-properties | grep -i mgmt aren't the same ! In fact, the mac address I saw in the pcap wasn't in the output of the commande " show net interface all-properties " at all. I tried running the same commande on the Vguest ( show net interface all-properties ) and the mac address wasn't there either . My question is then where this mac address came from ? Many thanks, Karim
ltm log message error
Hi, Anyone has any ideea why do we keep getting this in ltm log: slot1/viprion warning csyncd[5226]: 013b0005:4: Command failed: cmd=rsync -qaI --timeout=15 rsync://127.3.0.3/csync/var/tmstat/cluster/blade3 /var/tmstat/cluster/blade3, rc=23 The system is a Viprion chassis with blades in slot1 and slot3 and I can't seem to find anything related to this.
Move to standby all vcmps to update HOST (VIPRION)
Hello, Is there a way to force all vcmps to standby? I have 2 VIPRION and I want to re-license one of them previous to upgrade the BIG-IP version running on it. So I need to move all guests from one Host to other VIPRION to prevent loss of service. Running the following command you can see the state; active or standby, for all vcmps: # tmsh show vcmp | sed '/Vcmp::Guest Prompt/,/^$/!d' I´m trying to failover from HOSTA to HOSTB all guest with status: /Sn-green-P:Active. Is this possible?
Viprion. Multiple blades and vCMP. Mirroring options.
Hello Devs! I read on the oficial training guide that when you use vCMP, you do the mirroring on a guest basis. That makes sense to me. But what if you have like a c2400 with 4x2150. Does the mirror "within cluster" applies? root@(bigip1)(cfg-sync Standalone)(/S1-green-P:Active)(/Common)(tmos) list sys db statemirror.clustermirroring sys db statemirror.clustermirroring { value "within" } To me the mirror within cluster/between cluster only makes sense when we are talking about Viprions without vCMP. Am I right?! One more thing. If I had a c2400 chassis with 4x2150 blades with vCMP enabled. If I had only one vCMP guest with only one CPU and it was configured with the proper permissions to run on all four blades. If blade1 failed, would this vCMP guest automagically run on blade2 without any disruption? Or would the vCMP guest fail and re-start on blade2? Thanks! RafaelInstall new additional Viprion blade with slot disabled
Hi there, Unfortunately I don't have a test environment to try this. On the Viprion platform will the automated blade install process still initiate if the slot is manually "disabled" on the vCMP host? Does slot state from a vCMP guest perspective matter? We want to install the hardware but initiate the install process at a later date. Thanks for your advice.
