Bug ID 940265: New Resource group appears to give access to only one, un-named pool.

Last Modified: Jul 12, 2023

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IQ System(all modules)

Opened: Aug 26, 2020

Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

Overview: If you edit the group properties incorrectly, it's possible to make it appear as if a pool has only one, un-named pool member, even though the pool contains multiple pool members.

Impact

The resource group is now unusable. It is trying to do two conflicting things at the same time: * Grant access to all pool members for all virtual servers. * Restrict access to only some pool members on some virtual servers.

Conditions

Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create a new resource group that has access to all pool members for all virtual servers: a. System>ROLE MANAGEMENT>Resource Groups>Add. b. Type a Name for the group. c. On the bottom half of the screen, for Select Service, choose Local Traffic (LTM). d. For Select Object Type, choose Virtual Servers Local Traffic. e. For Source, click Any Instance. f. On the right, clear the RELATED OBJECT TYPES check box, and then scroll down and select the Pool Members check box. g. Click Add Selected. h. Click Save and Close. 2. Edit the group so that it has access only to specific pool members: a. Click on the name of the newly created resource group to edit it. b. On the bottom half of the screen, for Select Service, choose Local Traffic (LTM). d. For Select Object Type, choose Virtual Servers Local Traffic. e. For Source, click Selected Instances, and then select a virtual server that has pool members. f. On the right, clear the RELATED OBJECT TYPES check box, and then scroll down and select the Pool Members check box. g. Click Add Selected. h. Under Selected Resources, expand Pools, and note the presence of just one, un-named pool.

Workaround

Delete the mis-formed resource group and create two new ones. One group grants access to all pool members for all virtual servers. The second group restricts access to only some pool members on some virtual servers.
