Ah, I see what mean by "drain". In other words, it doesn't add any more users to that server, and just lets them disconnect one by one as they time out until no-one is left.
That solution would be no good for us. Our application keeps the user logged in for 12 hours. It is used internally by our employees-- they come to work in the morning, log in, and stay logged in all day long. If we tried to "drain" a server, it would never drain. That is simply not an option if we need to remove a server during the day immediately. Please correct me if I am wrong, but from what I understand about sharing sessions across a cluster of software balanced servers is that if we WERE to kick someone off of one server and to another, their session and client etc info would follow them along with their cfid and cftoken to the new server. Am I making any sense at all here? I feel like I'm shouting in the wind or something. And I still haven't had a single person offer one shred of reading material (tutorials, step by step installs instructions, how to's) on the subject of installing enterprise and configuring session sharing across clusters etc. which was my original request... Does this stuff not exist? *sigh* ~Brad -----Original Message----- From: Eric Haskins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 07, 2007 10:12 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: installing CF Enterprise, Load Balancing Etc... Brad, Most Hardware balancers have options to allow the server to drain users on it by not allowing new sessions. Yes it will kick users on the server you are taking out of service if you do not allow it to drain. I can see how many sessions are active on each server in the farms. When we were using Cisco LD's we were using Clientvars so session info wasnt an issue. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create Web Applications With ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2.
