It is somewhat confusing isn't it. I'd have thought that the
tmsh modify ltm node ‘name’ up
would have done the job. Does it? The default is down.
From the tmsh reference guide: http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/bigip-tmsh-11-4-0.html.
session user-enabled;
"Establishing a session with a node is establishing the ability of the client to persist to the node when making new connections. When a node is session disabled, clients that have already established sessions with the node may create new connections, but a client that has not already established a session may not create a new one (or make a connection which would create a new session). This feature is used to gently drain connections from a node, typically as part of a maintenance operation. The default value is user-enabled."
state user-up
"Specifies the current state of the node. Use user-down to indicate that the node may not handle any new connections. Use user-up, after using user-down, to indicate that the node may accept new connections."
