Hi John,
The higher the weight compared to the other configured weights (!) for the services in the content, the more flows are directed to that service.
My example:
service CHMSIIS06
ip address 172.x9.x9.x8
keepalive port 80
keepalive type tcp
keepalive frequency 30
protocol tcp
weight 9
active
service CHMSIIS07
ip address 172.x9.x9.x9
keepalive port 80
keepalive type tcp
keepalive frequency 30
protocol tcp
weight 10
service CHWSIIS07
ip address 172.x9.x9.x5
keepalive port 80
keepalive type tcp
keepalive frequency 30
protocol tcp
weight 9
active
active
content cms-production
vip address 172.x9.x9.x2
protocol tcp
port 80
add service CHMSIIS07
add service CHWSIIS07
balance weightedrr
add service CHMSIIS06
active
CSS11506# sh service summary
Service Name State Conn Weight Avg State
Load Transitions
CHMSIIS06 Alive 18 9 4 88
CHMSIIS07 Alive 15 10 2 102
CHWSIIS07 Alive 8 9 4 96
How long does it takes? Immediately it starts to follow that weights but keep in mind, depends the behavior of your application, it will take shorter or longer.
Best regards,
