Hello starboy,

 

You can try that way:

 

Go to

 

Local Traffic ›› Pools : Pool List ›› "pool_with_server_to_be_stopped">>

 

tab "Members" >> choose member/server that will go to maintenance.

 

Next you can set the state you want.

Hi again,

 

Just for clarification,

 

You can set the state to be:

 

  • Enabled (All traffic allowed)

     

  • Disabled (Only persistent or active connections allowed)

     

  • Forced Offline (Only active connections allowed)

     

After that press "Update" of course...
