Accessing File shares through F5 VIP
Hello all, I have a server that hosts lots of roles such as file server, web server, home grown apps, and few other things. I am working on breaking this single serve into 6 servers. 2 Web Servers 2 File Servers 2 Servers for other apps. All servers are windows servers. my plan is to have a single VIP with port 0, and then attach an iRule that handles the traffic as it arrives at the VIP, where it would send traffic distant to port 80 would go to the pool of web servers, and if any of the ports for the other apps, it would go to the pool of servers of the other apps. the one that I am not 100% how to handle is File Servers since they not really load balanced by F5 and the pool will have a single member, which is the file server cluster name, so I could use some help from the experts here and I truly appreciate any help or comments to get this work correctly. Thanks in advance and have a good one.
