When the BIG-IP system fails to select a pool member, it provides an option to address the failure in an iRule. There are a few alternative commands to resolve the failure. These commands must be used separately. Combining them may result in connection reset or tmm restarts.
The BIG-IP system might reset the connection, generate two HTTP responses, or result in a tmm restart. Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts.
-- Virtual server has a configured iRule that includes both LB::reselect and HTTP::respond commands in the LB_FAILED event. -- The event LB_FAILED is fired for a connection.
There is no workaround other than not to use the HTTP::respond command after the LB::reselect command in the LB_FAILED event.
The BIG-IP system now generates an error during execution of HTTP::respond commands if an LB::reselect command was performed and reset a connection.
