F5 Active-Active in use, contrary to vendor recommendation

Two babies in matching gray bear onesies, one sitting and one lying down, used metaphorically to represent dual active device

What will happen if one of the active members fails?

This is a real life sample alert from indeni

Description:

This device is part of an Active-Active HA configuration without an additional standby device. This is contrary to F5’s recommendations on the matter.

Manual Remediation Steps:

Add a standby member to the HA group.

How does this alert work?

indeni automatically determines when certain devices are part of an HA group. It uses this determination to execute a large set of checks, such as comparing configurations and licenses. One of the checks is to see if all devices in the group are set to Active and if so – alert.
