How to dissable member when database is updates?

We need a script to enable / disable the members ( IP's ) i.e. Local Traffic --> Pools --> Servers --> Members. This is so because during database updates the engine service on each of the servers needs to be down for certain interval during which the server will not be available.

 

We thus have to disable the member so that the requests will be diverted to another server in member in the pool and then re-enable it.

    Look in the iControl codeshare section of DevCentral. There are some perl samples of enabling/disabling pool members.

    Look for this one (it should give you a starting point):
