Editing a Load Balancer's Backend Set

Update the configuration of a backend set for a load balancer.

When you edit a backed set, you can select a new load balancing policy and change the SSL configuration. To change the backend set's health check policy, see Health Check Policies for Load Balancers for more information.

To add or remove backend servers from the backend set, see Backend Servers for Load Balancers for more information.

Note

Changing the load balancing policy of a backend set temporarily interrupts traffic and can drop active connections.
    1. On the Load balancers list page, select the load balancer that you want to work with. If you need help finding the list page or the load balancer, see Listing Load Balancers.
    2. On the load balancer's details page, select Backend sets.
      The Backend sets section opens. All backend sets in the selected load balancer are displayed in a table.
    3. From the Actions menu Actions Menu for the backend set, select Edit.
    4. Edit any of the following:
      • Traffic distribution policy
      • SSL
      • Session persistence
      • Max Backend Connections

      See Creating a Backend Set for more information.

    5. Select Update backend set.
  • Use the oci lb backend-set update command and required parameters to update the configuration of a backend set for a load balancer:

    oci lb backend-set update --backend-set-name backend_set_name --backends backends --load-balancer-id load-balancer_id --health-checker-protocol health_checker_protocol --policy policy [OPTIONS]

    For a complete list of parameters and values for CLI commands, see the CLI Command Reference.
