Symptoms

The Configuration utility may calculate and display a high availability (HA) Group Score of 0, while in reality the correct HA Group Score is greater than 0.

Impact

This issue is cosmetic as it is limited to what the Configuration utility calculates and displays to the user. Internally, the system uses the correct HA Group Score to determine the role of the unit. However, it is possible for a BIG-IP Administrator to be mislead by this issue and take a wrong or unnecessary corrective action because of it.

Conditions

This issue occurs when a particular HA Group object (for example, a Pool) has no available members, and the 'Minimum Member Count' option is not used (this is the default).

Workaround

You can use the TMSH utility from the command line to display the correct HA Group Score.

Fix Information

The Configuration utility no longer calculates and displays an incorrect HA Group Score.
