Function

This API is used to update a backend server.

Constraints

If the provisioning status of the associated load balancer is not ACTIVE, the backend server cannot be updated.

Calling Method

For details, see Calling APIs.

URI

PUT /v3/{project_id}/elb/pools/{pool_id}/members/{member_id}

Table 1 Path Parameters

Parameter

Mandatory

Type

Description

member_id

Yes

String

Specifies the backend server ID.

Note:

The value of this parameter is not the ID of the server but an ID automatically generated for the backend server that has already associated with the load balancer.

pool_id

Yes

String

Specifies the ID of the backend server group.

project_id

Yes

String

Specifies the project ID.

Request Parameters

Table 2 Request header parameters

Parameter

Mandatory

Type

Description

X-Auth-Token

Yes

String

Specifies the token used for IAM authentication.

Table 3 Request body parameters

Parameter

Mandatory

Type

Description

member

Yes

UpdateMemberOption object

Specifies the backend server.

Table 4 UpdateMemberOption

Parameter

Mandatory

Type

Description

admin_state_up

No

Boolean

Specifies the administrative status of the backend server.

Although this parameter can be used in the APIs for creating and updating backend servers, its actual value depends on whether cloud servers exist. If cloud servers exist, the value is true. Otherwise, the value is false.

This parameter is unsupported. Please do not use it.

name

No

String

Specifies the backend server name.

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 255

weight

No

Integer

Specifies the weight of the backend server. Requests are routed to backend servers in the same backend server group based on their weights.

The value ranges from 0 to 100, and the default value is 1. The larger the weight is, the higher proportion of requests the backend server receives. If the weight is set to 0, the backend server will not accept new requests.

If lb_algorithm is set to SOURCE_IP, this parameter will not take effect.

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 100

protocol_port

No

Integer

Specifies the port used by the backend server to receive requests.

NOTE:

This parameter cannot be updated if any_port_enable is set to true for a backend server group.

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 65535

Response Parameters

Status code: 200

Table 5 Response body parameters

Parameter

Type

Description

request_id

String

Specifies the request ID. The value is automatically generated.

member

Member object

Specifies the backend server.

Table 6 Member

Parameter

Type

Description

id

String

Specifies the backend server ID.

Note:

The value of this parameter is not the ID of the server but an ID automatically generated for the backend server that has already associated with the load balancer.

name

String

Specifies the backend server name. Note: The name is not an ECS name.

project_id

String

Specifies the project ID of the backend server.

pool_id

String

Specifies the ID of the backend server group to which the backend server belongs.

This parameter is unsupported. Please do not use it.

admin_state_up

Boolean

Specifies the administrative status of the backend server. The value can be true or false.

Although this parameter can be used in the APIs for creating and updating backend servers, its actual value depends on whether cloud servers exist. If cloud servers exist, the value is true. Otherwise, the value is false.

subnet_cidr_id

String

Specifies the ID of the subnet where the backend server resides. It can be an ID of an IPv4 or IPv6 subnet.

  • If you use an IPv4 subnet, you can query parameter neutron_subnet_id in the response by calling the API (GET https://{VPC_Endpoint}/v1/{project_id}/subnets) to obtain the ID of the IPv4 subnet.

  • If you use an IPv6 subnet, you can query parameter neutron_network_id in the response by calling the API (GET https://{VPC_Endpoint}/v1/{project_id}/subnets) to obtain the ID of the IPv6 subnet.

Note:

  • The IPv4 or IPv6 subnet must be in the same VPC as the subnet of the load balancer.

  • If IP as a Backend has been enabled for the load balancer, you do not need to specify this parameter. In this case, IP as backend servers must use private IPv4 addresses, and the protocol of the backend server group must be TCP, HTTP, or HTTPS.

protocol_port

Integer

Specifies the port used by the backend server to receive requests.

NOTE:

This parameter can be left blank because it does not take effect if any_port_enable is set to true for a backend server group.

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 65535

weight

Integer

Specifies the weight of the backend server. Requests are routed to backend servers in the same backend server group based on their weights.

The value ranges from 0 to 100, and the default value is 1. The larger the weight is, the higher proportion of requests the backend server receives. If the weight is set to 0, the backend server will not accept new requests.

If lb_algorithm is set to SOURCE_IP, this parameter will not take effect.

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 100

address

String

Specifies the private IP address bound to the backend server.

  • If subnet_cidr_id is left blank, IP as a Backend is enabled. In this case, the IP address must be an IPv4 address.

  • If subnet_cidr_id is not left blank, the IP address can be IPv4 or IPv6. It must be in the subnet specified by subnet_cidr_id and can only be bound to the primary NIC of the backend server.

ip_version

String

Specifies the IP version supported by the backend server. The value can be v4 (IPv4) or v6 (IPv6), depending on the value of address returned by the system.

device_owner

String

Specifies whether the backend server is associated with an ECS.

  • If this parameter is left blank, the backend server is not associated with an ECS.

  • If the value is compute:{az_name}, the backend server is associated with an ECS. {az_name} indicates the AZ where the ECS resides.

This parameter is unsupported. Please do not use it.

device_id

String

Specifies the ID of the ECS with which the backend server is associated. If this parameter is left blank, the backend server is not associated with an ECS.

This parameter is unsupported. Please do not use it.

operating_status

String

Specifies the health status of the backend server if listener_id under status is not specified. The value can be one of the following:

  • ONLINE: The backend server is running normally.

  • NO_MONITOR: No health check is configured for the backend server group to which the backend server belongs.

  • OFFLINE: The cloud server used as the backend server is stopped or does not exist.

status

Array of MemberStatus objects

Specifies the health status of the backend server if listener_id is specified.

loadbalancer_id

String

Specifies the ID of the load balancer with which the backend server is associated.

This parameter is unsupported. Please do not use it.

loadbalancers

Array of ResourceID objects

Specifies the IDs of the load balancers associated with the backend server.

This parameter is unsupported. Please do not use it.

created_at

String

Specifies the time when a backend server was added. The format is yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z' (UTC time).

This is a new field in this version, and it will not be returned for resources associated with existing dedicated load balancers and for resources associated with existing and new shared load balancers.

updated_at

String

Specifies the time when a backend server was updated. The format is yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z' (UTC time).

This is a new field in this version, and it will not be returned for resources associated with existing dedicated load balancers and for resources associated with existing and new shared load balancers.

member_type

String

Specifies the type of the backend server. Values:

  • ip: IP as backend servers

  • instance: ECSs used as backend servers

instance_id

String

Specifies the ID of the ECS used as the backend server. If this parameter is left blank, the backend server is not an ECS. For example, it may be an IP address.
