reweighting a server

Is there a single operation way to reweight a server? I'd like to
rebuild the web software on one of my real servers without affecting any
users, so I figure reweighting its lvs rule to zero and waiting for the
active connections to go to zero before making any changes is the way to
go. I don't see any ipvsadm options for changing a weight. Will
deleting the rule and re-adding an identical one with weight zero effect
active connections?

Brian.

How about ipvsadm -e?

Ah, thanks. Silly me, reading the man page. :)

You are right, there is ipvsadm -e option which is missing
from the explanations in the man page but is in the short descriptions.

ipvsadm -e ... -w <weight>

ipvsadm -E vsname:vsport -r rsname:rsport -w [weight]. You can get info
from the ipvsadm man but weight can be from 0 to 65535,

Doesn't work. The -e flag (undocumented in the manpage), as mentioned
by other responses does.
