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 does not retain its status prior to being quiesced. To quiesce a server:

  1. Right-click the manager.
  2. Select Quiesce Server.
  3. Select the server you want to quiesce.
  4. Optionally, check "Quiesce now?" to quiesce the server immediately.
    Note:Choose this option only if you have stickytime set and you want new connections sent to another server before the sticky time expires.
  5. Click OK.
