The status of the Virtual Services which exist in the LoadMaster is displayed in the Virtual Services > View/Modify Services screen.

The Virtual Service status may be one of the following:

Status

Description

At least one Real Server is available.

No Real Servers are available.

All Real Servers are down and traffic is routed to a separately configured Sorry Server that is not part of the Real Server set and is not health checked. For further details on Sorry Servers, refer to the WUI Configuration Guide.

The Virtual Service has been administratively disabled by unticking the Activate or Deactivate Service check box in the Basic Properties section of the Virtual Service modify screen.

A fixed redirect response has been configured. One way that redirect Virtual Services can be created is by using the Add a Port 80 Redirector VS option in the Advanced Properties section.

An error message has been configured. This status is usually seen while configuring the Edge Security Pack (ESP). An error message can be specified using the Not Available Redirection Handling options.

Health checking of the Real Servers has been disabled. All Real Servers are used.

Note: By default, health checks are always seen from the interface address (the active LoadMaster if in High Availability (HA) mode, not the shared IP address). However, they can be seen from the Virtual Service address in some scenarios. Production traffic may be seen from the client IP address, the Virtual Service address, or the interface address, depending on the scenario. For further details, refer to the Routing Feature Description.
