Throttle command usage for virtual host junctions

Edit online

The following pdadmin command syntax is appropriate for use with virtual host junctions:

server task instance_name-webseald-host_name virtualhost throttle [-i server_uuid] 
vhost_label

Use the -i option to specify the UUID of the junctioned server that is being placed in a throttled operational state. If a server is not specified using this option, then all servers located at the junction are placed in a throttled operational state.

In the following example, the virtual host junction with the label support-vhost-https, configured on the WebSEAL server abc.ibm.com, supports the virtual host support.ibm.com, located on the back-end junctioned server int3.ibm.com.

There is a requirement to place the int3.ibm.com server in a throttled operational state. To determine the UUID of this junctioned server, run the server task virtualhost show command:

pdadmin> server task default-webseald-abc.ibm.com
virtualhost show support-vhost-https

Output is similar to:

Virtual Host label: support-vhost-https
Type: SSL
...
Virtual hostname: support.ibm.com
Alias: ibm.com
Alias: support
Virtual Host junction protocol partner: support-vhost-http

-i bacecc66-13ce-11d8-8f0a-09267ea5aa77 support-vhost-https
