Fixed In:

Opened: Apr 01, 2016 Severity: 4-Minor
Units configured in a HA pair using only hardwire failover will not be able to use a targeted failover.
Failover may fail with the following logs in /var/log/ltm Mar 15 10:27:57 <hostname> notice sod[8214]: 010c0044:5: Command: go standby <traffic group name> <device name> GUI. Mar 15 10:27:57 <hostname> notice sod[8214]: 010c002b:5: Traffic group <traffic group name> received a targeted failover command for <peer mgmt IP>. Mar 15 10:28:00 <hostname> notice sod[8214]: 010c004b:5: Target device <traffic group name> is not responding, cannot failover.
HA pair configured without network failover but with a hardwire failover. Failover is attempted using one of the 2 following methods: Via GUI Device Management -> Traffic Groups check <traffic group> click "force to standby" again click "force to standby" via tmsh tmsh run sys failover standby device <peer device> traffic-group <traffic group name>
Use an alternative failover method: - Device Management > Devices > Force to Standby - Device Management > Traffic Groups > [traffic Group name] > Force to Standby - tmsh run sys failover standby # without device
BIG-IP now fails over using targeted failover when hardwire failover is configured.
