Hi Pete,
Thank you very much for your reply! So this is what I have done so far.
Option A: WMI: Installed on all servers Load Balancing Method: Dynamic Ratio (node) PG Activation: Disabled
In this setup, All 4 servers start receiving jobs simultaneously and F5 makes sure that the jobs be distributed evenly and the ratio adjusted automatically once one of the servers hits the threshold value for CPU load. This is the functionality I want except for the fact that I want 2 out of the 4 servers to be in standby till the threshold value is reached.
So I tried a different setup.
Option B:
WMI: Installed on all servers Load Balancing Method: Dynamic Ratio (node) PG Activation: Enabled and activated for "Less than 2 members"
Servers A and B have priroity group 2, and Servers C and D have priority group 1. This seems to work ok, except that the PG activation does not happen till one of the serevers A or B is completely unreachable. The health monitor setup for CPU load threshold does not seem to have any impact on PG activation in this setup.
Is it possible to have PG activation criteria to look at the health monitor and the threshold CPU load value, instead of the system default definitions?
Can you please shed some light on how the configuration can be setup from the web server owners' side?
Thanks again in advance ! Sangamesh
