Active/Standby Configuration in GUI

I have one pool of 2 servers that have little traffic, but wanted to set node A to receive all connections unless the connections goes down and then Node B kicks in. If Node A becomes available it reverts back to Node A.

 

 

I have a round robin configuration with priority group activation:

 

 

Round Robin

 

Priority Group Activation: Set to less than 5.

 

Node A = 5

 

Node b = 1

 

 

What I am not sure about is members tab when configuring a node.

 

 

Do I need to set:

 

Node A to State = Enable

 

Node B to State = Forced Offline

 

 

Will this accomplish what I want?

 

 

Any thoughts, sorry I am a newbie.

    Hi Songchin,

     

    I think you need to set the Priority Group Activation to 1. Basically this setting is the minimum of nodes to be active according to their priority number.

     

     

    Hope this helps
