The clusterDisableServer Method

This method disables a cluster member. This process may be asynchronous if Session Clustering is used. If this is the case, the initial operation returns an HTTP 202 response. As long as the server is not fully disabled, further calls to this method are idempotent. On a Zend Server with no valid license, this operation fails.

Version: 1.0

Required Permissions: full

HTTP method: POST

Supported by Editions: Zend Server

Request Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
serverId	String	Yes	The server ID

Expected Response Code:

200 OK - The process was completed successfully. This status is expected if there is no need to perform a graceful shutdown process.
202 Accepted - The disabling process has started but was not completed yet. You can check the server status within a few seconds using the clusterGetServerStatus method to verify that the operation is complete.

Response Type: serverInfo with the status of the server being disabled. The status is either shuttingDown or disabled. On a Zend Server with no valid license, this operation fails.

Possible Action Specific Error Codes:

HTTP Code	Error Code	Description
404	noSuchServer	There is no server with the provided server ID.
500	cantConnectToServer	Zend Server is unable to connect to the specified server.
500	invalidServerResponse	An invalid or unexpected response from the server.
503	temporarilyLocked	The server cannot be disabled because another server in the cluster is performing a graceful startup/shutdown.
405	notImplementedByEdition	The method is not implemented by this edition of Zend Server.
500	serverNotLicensed	Zend Server is not licensed.
