BUG: The LOADBALANCE /MEMBERONLY switch requires that the /DRAIN:TIME switch be defined as seconds (834772)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Application Center 2000 SP2
  • Microsoft Application Center 2000 SP1
  • Microsoft Application Center 2000

SYMPTOMS

If you use the Microsoft Application Center 2000 command line tool, Ac.exe, to set a member offline by using the /memberonly switch, the member is set in the suspend status.

The documentation states that if you use both the /memberonly switch and the /drain:time switch, time must be defined as minutes. Therefore, although you expect the following command to drain the member for 10 minutes, the member drains for only 10 seconds:

AC.exe loadbalance /offline /memberonly /drain:10

RESOLUTION

If you use both the /memberonly switch and the /drain:time switch, define the time in seconds. Therefore, use the following command to define a drain of 10 minutes:

ac.exe loadbalance /offline/memberonly /drain:600

The value of 600 seconds equals 10 minutes.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section of this article.
