Quiescing a server
Quiescing a server is to specify that no more connections be sent to
a server. The manager sets the weight for that server to 0 in every port to which
it is defined. If you delete a quiesced server from the configuration, and then add
it back, it will not retain its status prior to being quiesced.
To quiesce a server:
- Click mouse button 2 over the manager.
- Select Quiesce Server.
A dialog box appears.
- Pick the address of the server you want to quiesce.
- Optionally, you may check the "Quiesce now?" checkbox in order to quiesce the server immediately.
Note:You should only choose this option if you have stickytime set and you want new connections
sent to another server before the sticky time expires.
- Click OK.
