Primarysorryserver

[kwta]

i had a requirement of having a Primary and Backup server scenario, i.e users will only be directed to the backup server if the primary is down.

It did failover (by suspending the primary server).

But when I bring up the primary server, it still points me to the backup server.

I had read that either we manually suspend the backup server, or wait for the connection to be timed out, then the subsequent connection will be directed to the Primary server.

My requirement is that I do not wish to perform the manual task(i.e suspend the backup server).

But it did work successfully.

I did try to disconnect my session, and clear the cache on my browser (sort of new connection). But I am still being directed to the backup server.

So would like to check whether my config is wrong ?

this is my config:

service hpod02_02

keepalive uri "/servername/apcsstest.asp"

From the CSS Basic Configuration Guide:

"If you configure the 'persistence reset remap' command in the global configuration and no persistent command on the content rule, when a local service becomes available again, the CSS remaps any new or in-progress persistent connections to the local server from the sorry server. Otherwise, new connections go to the available local services, but in-progress persistent connections stay on the sorry server."

thanks.

I did that. But the problem still persist.

But when I removed advanced-balance sticky-srcip from the content-rule. It works. So I think that the stickiness is the main culprit.

However "no persistence" is still required. And persistence reset redirect works as well.

why do you need the sticky setup anyway ?

You only have 1 service, so for sure the traffic will be sticky to this only server.

The 'no persistent' command guarantees that when the primary server comes alive, persistent connections to the backup server will be rebalanced to the primary server.

Let us know if you still need clarification.
