Configure PSC HA in vSphere 6.5 with F5 BigIP

Hi guys.

     I have a task to deploy PSC HA in vSphere 6.5 with F5 BigIP. During the process, I met a problem. I Deployed it using the following ways:

       1.Select an ESXi host, then create a vSwitch with no NIC, with name "tornado".

       2.Create a DC and DNS server using win2012R2 on network "tornado".(IP:192.168.2.222). Create DNS parsing for PSCA, PSCB and ha-vip on lb.

       3.Deploy f5(v12) on "tornado".(IP:192.168.1.245).

       4.Deploy the two psc on "tornado".(PSCA:192.168.2.18, PSCB:192.168.2.13).

       5.prepare and replace Certificate on PSCA and PSCB. Referred Configuring certificates for PSC for High Availability in vSphere 6.5 (2147627) | VMware KB

       6.Configure ha-vip on f5 lb for using. (ha-vip:192.168.2.10). Referred https://haveyoutriedreinstalling.com/psc-ha-6-5-1-introduction/psc-ha-6-5-2-prepare-a-load-balancer/...  

       The all process but configure f5 referred to https://thewificable.com/2017/01/06/vcenter-6-5-high-availability-external-psc-deployment-part-2/

     The problem is the network map on f5 shows all nodes are red. That means they are not connected.

     I also think so. PSCA, PSCB and DNS server are in the same subnet on tornado. F5 Management IP also on tornado but not in the same subnet of PSCA and PSCB. Ha-vip is on the vlan created in f5. How can they connect to each other? Or my way is not right?

Hi,

are trying to connect the components in tornado with IP or name? if its name please make sure same DNS settings are replicated in all components of tornado.

:-), yes. I have tried it. PSCA, PSCB and DNS server can ping to each other. F5 Management IP cannot ping to them though I have set the DNS. Because they are not in the same subnet.
