Node Maintenance Steps Clarification

Hey Tom,

 

 

Glad it helped!

 

 

My understanding - which may not be perfect, but I'm pretty confident in - is that connections can't be force moved, you have to wait for them to close or kill them outright (in which case they will be "moved" by reconnecting to another server in the pool, but the user will notice the dropped connection).

 

 

If you've got persist none set, then unless you have machines accessing the server persistently around the BIG-IP (people do it, more than you'd think because the BIG-IP is used for visitors, not always for admin), you should be good.

 

 

Don.
