appliance-quiesce

This command changes the operational state of domains, services, and handlers to the down state.

Syntax

appliance-quiesce timeout seconds

Parameters

timeout
Specifies the time to wait for all transactions to complete. Specify a long enough timeout value to handle long living transactions. The minimum value is 60.
seconds
Specifies the interval of time in seconds to wait before the quiesce action is initiated. The delay might be useful in self-balancing where the intent to quiesce is propagated to the distributor before the quiesce action is initiated. The delay allows new connections to be routed to other nodes before the quiesce is initiated. Set a delay value that is long enough to allow propagation to the distributor. In general, a value less than 10 seconds is sufficient. The minimum value is 0, which is to quiesce immediately.

Guidelines

The appliance-quiesce command changes the operational state of domains, services, and handlers on the DataPower® Gateway to the down state in a controlled manner. A quiesce waits for at most the specified time for transactions to complete and proceeds to notify quiesce complete.

This command does not affect the default domain. Therefore, this command does not quiesce management interfaces.

Note: Before quiescing, ensure that this DataPower Gateway is not the primary member of a peer group by using the following commands.
  • show quota-enforcement-status
  • show gateway-peering-status

When this DataPower Gateway is the primary member, access another member in the peer group and make it the primary member before quiescing the DataPower Gateway.

Example

Except the default domain, quiesce all domains, services, and handlers. Wait for at most 2 minutes for transactions to complete.
