Command differences in Load Balancer IPv4 and IPv6

Learn about the command differences in Load Balancer IPv4 and Load Balancer IPv4 and IPv6.

Cluster add command

Executor commands

Port level commands

Rule commands

Load Balancer for IPv4 and IPv6 provides only type, active, and true and does not provide the following parameters:

Server commands

Help commands

The dscontrol help command does not have a host or subagent parameter since Load Balancer for IPv4 and IPv6 does not have remote administration and SNMP agent support.

dscontrol manager

The dscontrol help command does not have a host or subagent parameter since Load Balancer for IPv4 and IPv6 does not have remote administration and SNMP agent support.

The quiesce feature differs between the two load balancers. Load Balancer for IPv4 has only the quiesce now option. If you do not specify now, existing connections complete and forward subsequent new connections to the quiesced server from those clients with existing connections that are designated as sticky, if the quiesced server receives the new request before stickytime expires. However, if you have not enabled the sticky (affinity) feature, the quiesced server cannot receive any new connections. By specifying now, you quiesce the server so existing connections can complete, but forbids all new connections, including subsequent new connections, from those clients with existing connections that are designated as sticky.

Load Balancer for IPv4 and IPv6 has two options: quiesce server and Cluster@Port@Server. The former quiesces the server on all ports and all clusters and the latter quiesces the server on a specific cluster and port combination. The existing connections are served and new connections are not allowed on the quiesced server, therefore, the behavior is similar to the quiesce now option in Load Balancer for IPv4. There is no option to change this quiesce behavior.

The dscontrol status and dscontrol subagent commands do not exist in Load Balancer for IPv4 and IPv6.
