Enabling or Disabling a Server Instance for Load Balancing

Before you stop a server instance, you should disable the instance for load balancing so that requests are failed over to another instance. To disable a server instance or cluster for load balancing, use the asadmin disable-converged-lb-server command.

For example:

asadmin disable-converged-lb-server --user admin --passwordfile pass.txt cluster1

You can use the asadmin enable-converged-lb-server command to enable a server instance or cluster for load balancing. A new instance or cluster is created with the lb-enabled option set to false by default. You need to explicitly enable an instance or cluster for load balancing.

For example:

asadmin enable-converged-lb-server --user admin --passwordfile pass.txt cluster1

For more information about the asadmin disable-converged-lb-server command and the asadmin enable-converged-lb-server, see the Sun GlassFish Communications Server 2.0 Reference Manual.
