Group priority vs ratio

Hi, I have 6 server with actually work pretty much the same. and they are members of the same pool.Yet I have 2 virtual servers which do not perform so well. I have set the ratio 3 in servers that perform well and set to 1 in those 2 server that does not. Could this be done by group prioriy? What are the difference between setting ratio 2 in one node vs setting group prioriy 2 in a node? Thank you.

    Setting a ratio on the pool members means that all pool members will received load balanced requests, but at different ratios. Priority is used to send traffic to a set of servers and only use the lower priority members if some/none of the higher priority groups are available. You can check the LTM config guide section on pools for your version for more detail.
