Keeping existing session but prevent new connections to node in pool
Hi all -
I have a question regarding the automation process
either using a UNIX Shell or PERL script on a bigip 2000 running PTF 4.13 to take a server out of service by unchecking the "enable connections" in node address properties.
Here is the senerio.
When we do deployments in our environment, we have a web server pool consiting of 6 servers. The application deployment team wants to automated how a server is taken out of the pool (stop new traffic to a specific server in that pool, but allow existing traffic to continue until it completes) by calling a script (shell or perl)located on the F5 load balancer. The key here is, they must not have admin permissions or need to login to the F5 unit to do this. How can this be accomplished?
Thanks!
