Force pool members offline

Anybody know how to force pool members offline from the configuration utility?

 

According to support KB https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/13000/300/sol13310.html?sr=43113978 I should be able to click the "Force Offline" button. But there is now "Force Offline" button. I believe I remember seeing the button in previous builds, but I can't find it anywhere now.

 

I am running 11.5.1 HF7

  • Hi,

     

    If you navigate to the "Nodes" section and click on the name of the node then in the node settings you can select "Force Offline".

    What about if you click on the actual pool member itself after opening the pool? There should be a force offline option then.

     

  • nathan, looks like that is the way to do it. However this sure is a real pain. If I have like 20 pool members on 5 servers, having to click into each pool member and force offline sure takes a long time.

     

  • I just checked on 11.6.0 HF-3 and the force offline button is available on the pool member screen. You can open a case to find out if it has been removed on 11.5.1 HF-7 for a reason or if it is a bug.
