You can manually take a primary real server out of service gracefully using
either the no inservice command or the inservice standby command.
The no inservice command
instructs the ACE to:
? Tear down existing non-TCP connections to the server
? Allow existing TCP connections to complete before taking the server out of
service
? Disallow any new connections to the server.
With sticky configured, use the inservice standby command to gracefully take a
primary real server out of service. The inservice standby command instructs the
ACE to:
? Tear down existing non-TCP connections to the server
? Allow current TCP connections to complete
? Allow new sticky connections for existing server connections that match
entries in the sticky database
? Load-balance all new connections (other than the matching sticky
connections mentioned above) to the other servers in the server farm
? Eventually take the server out of service
Hope it helps
