Managing a Backend Server Group

You can manage a backend server group as required.

Enabling Modification Protection

You can enable the modification protection option for a backend server group to prevent the backend servers in it from being modified or deleted by accident.

Enabling the modification protection option for a backend server group will prohibit any change to both the group and the backend servers in it.

  1. Go to the load balancer list page.
  2. On the Backend Server Groups page, locate the backend server group and click its name.
  3. On the Summary tab page, click Configure next to Modification Protection.
  4. In the Configure Modification Protection dialog box, enable Modification Protection.
  5. Click OK.

Disable Modification Protection if you want to delete a backend server group or modify its settings.
