Task 1 – Provision the AVR module

  1. Determine which BIG-IP is the standby unit by looking at the status in the top-left corner of each of the BIG-IP GUI windows. Normally BIGIP2 should be the standby, but in some cases, you may find that BIGIP1 is the standby unit.

  2. First, on the standby unit, go to System >> Resource Provisioning

  3. For the Application Visibility and Reporting (AVR) module, check-mark the box under the Provisioning column, and ensure the Provisioning level is set to Nominal.

  4. Click Submit

    Note

    This procedure will cause services to be restarted on the BIG-IP and may cause interruption to the traffic that is passing through the unit. Hence, it is always recommended to perform this step during a maintenance window, and to start with the Standby unit first.

  5. Once the services have been restarted, click Continue.

  6. Repeat the above steps for the other (Active) BIG-IP unit. Note that when you do so, the Active unit will go into Standby state, and the other unit will take over as Active.
