Node Draining details ...

Hi Guys,

 

 

I have a query F5 balanced web farm (IIS6.0),as stated below :

 

 

Assuming F5 Load Balancer is used to load balance a Web Farm, how would it affect the node which was set to Drain out (by setting the Pool member's State property to a value "Only persisitent or active connections allowed" ). Can we be assured that postback requests will still continue to be served by the drained out node?

 

 

Any help would be true appreciated.

 

 

Note : I am posting on this forum for the first time..so please ignore any formatting, or other formalities..

 

 

Thanks, Sandesh

    You will need to have persistence profile associated with the Virtual server. Otherwise, as soon as the active connection is done, the client will be sent to another node.
