Can't detect disabled node

My IRule needs to know if a node has been administratively disabled. (i.e. checked as such in the GUI). It seems like I should use

 

 

LB::status node

 

 

to do this and compare the answer with "session_disabled". However, even when the node has been administratively disabled, this returns "up". How do I do this?

 

 

Thanks.

    Hi Dave,

     

     

    Can you clarify whether you are referring to iRules or iControl? LB::status (Click here) is an iRule command, but this is the iControl section.

     

     

    Assuming it's an iRule, are you disabling the pool member in the pool or the node in the node section of the GUI? I haven't tested this before, but maybe it makes a difference for the two different forms of LB::status.
