A client connection to a virtual server configured for 'cmp-enabled no' and 'mirror enabled' will be dropped if the standby unit is promoted to active.
Mirroring does not work as expected on BIG-IP appliances. Note: CMP is required on VIPRION chassis, so this expectation applies only to appliances.
The virtual server is configured for 'cmp-enabled no' and 'mirror enabled' on multiple BIG-IP appliances peered in a high availability configuration.
Do not disable CMP on virtual servers that are mirrored.
The system now supports mirroring connections between BIG-IP appliances in a high availability configuration on CMP-disabled virtual servers. Note: If CMP is disabled, hardware syn cookie must also be disabled for virtual servers to mirror connections. This is expected behavior.
