Yes, WebSphere is configured to replicate sessions and the application can deal with a session is hasn't seen before when a user is sent its way

We haven't put the devices in yet, I'm going through the thought process of how I would set them up to support this scenario. I like the thinking though, I'll read up on the JSESSIONID iRule. thanks

Thanks. The other app servers will have access to sessions created by any of the servers through WebSphere session replication. That part already works and is tested. I had read SOL10640 last night. It definitely has the means to do what I need in a normal running state, but I didn't make the leap to using the LTM monitored page as the trigger to placing the node in "maintenance" mode - I like that idea. Thanks for the FYI on the JSESSIONID iRULE as well.

 

 

Thanks to all who replied. I think I have enough now to go away and put an solution together. I will update this topic with my final solution also.
