Configuring F5 resource pools - BlueCat Integrity - 26.1.0

Modify the managed BlueCat DNS/DHCP Servers linked to an F5 resource pool.

1. Select the Servers tab in the sidebar, then select Servers.
2. Select the name of a LTM or BIG-IP DNS server.
3. Select the Services tab.
4. Under Server management and configuration, locate the Resource Pool service panel and select Edit service. Address Manager queries the LTM server or BIG-IP DNS Server and returns virtual servers / listeners, pools, and pool members.
5. Under General, set the following parameters:
   • Virtual servers—(LTM only) from the drop-down menu, select a virtual server associated with your LTM server. The values of Partition, Pool, and Pool partition will change depending on the selected virtual server.
   • Listeners—(BIG-IP DNS Servers only) from the drop-down menu, select the listener configured on your BIG-IP DNS Server. The values of Partition, Pool, and Pool partition will change depending on the selected listener.
   • Pool members—complete any of the following:
     • Add DNS/DHCP Server to the pool—enter a name in the Member name field that will be associated with the DNS/DHCP Server you will add to the pool, then select a managed DNS/DHCP Server from the drop-down menu and select Add. The DNS/DHCP Server appears in the pool member list. xHA pairs can be added to an F5 pool.

       Using a member name for the DNS/DHCP Server is optional. If you don't enter a member name, the IP address of the selected DNS/DHCP Server will be used as the member name. This member name is primarily for use in the F5 management interface.

     • Enable/disable DNS/DHCP Server within the pool—select either Enable or Disable.

       Enable/disable is the status of the DNS/DHCP Server within the F5 resource pool, not the status of the server in Address Manager. By default, DNS/DHCP Servers are enabled when first added to a pool.

     • Remove DNS/DHCP Server from the pool—select Remove.
6. Select Save.
