Downtime when adding more servers to a live pool?
Hi,
1) Will there be any downtime if I create nodes in disabled/forced offline state and then add them to an active pool AS IS? 2) When the time comes that I need to enable these nodes , will it cause any kind of temporary downtime/glitch to the pool or existing members?
Thanks in advance!
The answer to both of your questions is no. This is a good controlled approach for introducing new resources.
Once you add the new node into your pool and activate it, then it'll begin processing connections according to your load balancing algorithm.
