Server Pools and Server Instances
Strict Max Cx
This flag allows you to customize the behavior of the max connections
parameter (see above).
When Strict Max Cx is enabled (the default), the max connections
parameter is interpreted as a strict maximum and is never overridden. If a
client attempts to connect to a server that has a number of connections
equal to the max connections setting, then the connection is refused.
When Strict Max Cx is disabled, the max connections setting will be
overridden in any of the following circumstances:
l
A client attempts to connect to a server with the hot spare flag enabled - this allows hot
spares to service more than the max connections setting of connections.
l
A client attempting to connect to a Layer 7 cluster has a persistence cookie and the server
identified in the cookie has already reached its max connections limit.
l
A client attempting to connect to a Layer 4 cluster has an existing sticky persistence con-
nection to a server and that server has already reached its max connections limit.
8. Repeat step 5 to add additional server instances to a server pool.
