Draining issues with Ms IIS and F5 LTM/BigIP 9.4.6

Hi,     Maybe this question doesn't belong in this forum but since it involves the LTM and load balancing I'll post it anyway since there must be others out there with similar issues.  ...

That's interesting.

 

 

The response I received from F5 support was:

 

 

"I think you can do it this way to achieve what you want. You can turn on "Reject" for "Action On Service Down" option under Pools. When you force the pool member to go offline, the client connection will be resetted.

 

 

The option is under "Local Traffic" > "Pools".

 

- Under pool Properties, select the "Configuration" from "Basic" to "Advanced".

 

- You can find the option "Action On Service Down" there.

 

 

Let me know if this is what you are looking for."

 

 

I've had the developers test this and they have observed the correct behaviour and provided signoff on this method.

 

 

I would suggest trying it and seeing if it accomplishes what you need it to.

 

 

Cheers
