Hello friends. So I was asked to disable a server(node) from the LBs. The server team was taking down a server for a few days and asked me to disable in the LBs first before they do so, so they can perform maint on it.
So what I did was go under LTM > Nodes > Nodes List
From there, I saw the server, hit the checkbox and clicked force offline. The server leaked off connections till it hit 0 and they shut it down. So far life is good. 1 thing I noticed is when I went under this server, it had 3 pool memberships, but Idk what the servers status was under the 3 pools it was in because I already disabled the thing...not sure whether it was passing traffic for one of them or 2 of them, whether it was disabled for the pool, or any other of those funky shapes with colors. They never gave me any specifics..
Now the server team has asked me to turn it back on and I did. Everyones gone for the day, so I don't even know if it's doing what they want it to do since we haven't tested.
My question is, did I disable it the right way? Should I have disabled the node by a specific pool? I figured not since they were completely ripping out the server... I just have a feeling I'm going to get a call really early in the morning.
