Enabling the slow online feature

The real servers newly added to a server farm might not be able to immediately process large numbers of services assigned by the LB device. To resolve this issue, enable the slow online feature for the server farm. The feature uses the standby timer and ramp-up timer. When the real servers are brought online, the LB device does not assign any services to the real servers until the standby timer expires.

When the standby timer expires, the ramp-up timer starts. During the ramp-up time, the LB device increases the service amount according to the processing capability of the real servers, until the ramp-up timer expires.
