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:

  1. Right-click on the manager.
  2. Select Quiesce Server.
  3. Select the server you want to quiesce.
  4. Optionally, you may select the "Quiesce now?" check box 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.
  5. Click OK.
