slow ramp?
Hi all!
On my LTM, I have an application running on 6 backend servers. Each server is shut down overnight, and starts sometime in the morning.
The servers are not ready at the same time. E.g. server1 is ready at 6:51, server2 at 6:53, server3 at 6:55 etc.
Problem is that there are a lot of clients trying to connect to this VS all the times. If server1 now comes up in the morning, all these clients are sent to server1 since it's the only one available. Afterwards the other servers come up, but a very large part of the clients is already on server1, which is then quite heavily used, whereas the other servers are almost idle...
Is it possible to avoid the all the clients immediately connect to server1 as soon as it is ready? Probably with the slow ramp feature? Or are there any other solutions?
Regards
Marc
