Method to disable/enable a server?

Hi,     When looking at the LocalLBNode perl example, I was wondering if there is a method to disable/enable a server, or do you have to loop through all the nodes on a server?   ...

Yes, there are methods to enable/disable individual pool members and node addresses. For example, in v9.x:

 

 

- LocalLB::PoolMember/NodeAddress::set_session_enabled_state - if set to TRUE, will disallow new sessions from establishing, while still allowing existing sessions to go through, essentially used to bleed off the existing connections.

 

 

- LocalLB::PoolMember/NodeAddress::set_monitor_state - if set to TRUE, will bring the pool member or node address down immediately.

 

 

Please refer to the SDK for the signatures and descriptions of these methods.
