Unquiescing a Server When Server Count is Low
Let’s say we have a cluster that has three servers,
sv00
,
sv01
, and
sv02
:
• We want
sv00
and
sv01
to actively serve traffic, and
sv02
to have the
quiesce
option enabled while the
other two are running.
• If one (or both) of the active servers becomes unavailable, we want to disable the
quiesce
option on
sv02
so it starts serving traffic.
• Once the original two active servers are available again, we want to quiesce the third server.
The above can be accomplished by constructing two Smart Events:
Event 1
: If there are less than two servers active, unquiesce
sv02
and print a log message.
Event 2
: If there are three servers active, quiesce
sv02
and print a log message.
To create
Event 1
, do the following:
1. Right-click on the cluster name in the left frame and select
Add Event
from the popup menu.
2. Type a
Name
for the event, such as
unquiesce-sv02
, or accept the default. Click the Next icon (

Event Trigger
expression editor.
