NimbostratusMaintenance/Outage pool config
Hi,
I can think of several possible methods, but what would be the best practice for creating a simple "Sorry, we down for maintenance" message in the event none of the production Apache servers are available?
Can I accomplish this with pool member priorities?
But, what is "Reselect"? - that might be better?:
Action on Service Down
Specifies that when the target pool member goes down, the system tries to choose another pool member and rebind the client connection to a new server connection. None: Specifies take no action.
Reject: Specifies reject the connection.
Drop: Specifies drop the connection.
Reselect: Specifies select another pool.
we are going to use this to test auto-direct to our DR apache pool at the disaster site...just to provide some context.
thanks,
Fletch

You posted on the iControl section which I think you might have meant more for the iRule Section. Either way you could throw some maintaince page in the following manner
There are 2 iRules already in the sample section tha handles maintaince

Another is to simply create a Apache HTML page('Sorry, we are down for maintenance" and then put the URL in the HTTP profile under failback host, where all the member of the pools are down the client is then redirected.
Hope this helps
