Least connection loadbalancing question.
Hi,
I am testing ltm 11.5.2HF1 least connection loadbalancing method, anyways in my test I disable a pool member in a pool that is consisted of 16 members and after few seconds when all other members get connections I go and re-enable the disabled member and the test keeps running till it's time over which is about 5min, when the test is done the members don't have equal connections.
by the way CMP is disabled on the VIP.
my question: isn't the ltm supposed to send all the connections to the disabled member after re-enabling it till it becomes equal with other members and then continue rounrobin till the test is done ?
your thoughts please ?
Thanks, Sahir
Hi Sahir, This is not bug or issue. Hope you are aware of SRT(Slow Ramp Time). Whenever you enable any pool member, f5 doesn't give all new connection to that member. Slowly f5 share load to new member. By the way difference session is just 3 now, its not bad.
