Adding a Backend Server
Function
This API is used to add a backend server.
Constraints
When you add backend servers, note the following:
Two backend servers in the same backend server group must have different IP addresses and ports.
If no subnets are specified during cloud server creation, IP as backend servers can be added. In this case, address must be set to an IPv4 address, the protocol of the backend server group must be TCP, HTTP, or HTTPS, and IP as a Backend must have been enabled for the load balancer.
If a subnet is specified during cloud server creation, the subnet must be in the same VPC where the load balancer resides.
If the backend server group supports IPv4/IPv6 dual stack, address can be an IPv4 address or an IPv6 address. If the backend server group supports only IPv4, address can only be an IPv4 address.
If type of the backend server is set to instance, address must be a private IP address that is not used by any load balancer.

URI
POST /v3/{project_id}/elb/pools/{pool_id}/members
Parameter | Mandatory | Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
pool_id | Yes | String | Specifies the ID of the backend server group. |
project_id | Yes | String | Specifies the project ID. |
Request Parameters
Parameter | Mandatory | Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
X-Auth-Token | Yes | String | Specifies the token used for IAM authentication. |
Parameter | Mandatory | Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
member | Yes | CreateMemberOption object | Specifies the backend server. |
Parameter | Mandatory | Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
address | Yes | String | Specifies the private IP address bound to the backend server. Note:
|
admin_state_up | No | 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 ECSs exist. If ECSs exist, the value is true. Otherwise, the value is false. |
name | No | String | Specifies the backend server name. Note: The name is not an ECS name. If this parameter is not specified, an empty value will be returned. |
project_id | No | String | Specifies the project ID. |
protocol_port | No | Integer | Specifies the port used by the backend server to receive requests. Note:
|
subnet_cidr_id | No | String | Specifies the ID of the IPv4 or IPv6 subnet where the backend server resides. neutron_subnet_id defines IPv4 subnets, and neutron_network_id defines IPv6 subnets. You can query parameters neutron_subnet_id and neutron_network_id in the response by calling the API GET https://{VPC_Endpoint}/v1/{project_id}/subnets to get the IPv4 subnet ID and IPv6 subnet ID respectively. Note:
|
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 or QUIC_CID, this parameter will not take effect. |
Response Parameters
Status code: 201
Parameter | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
request_id | String | Specifies the request ID. The value is automatically generated. |
member | Member object | Specifies the backend server. |
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. |
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 ECSs exist. If ECSs exist, the value is true. Otherwise, the value is false. |
subnet_cidr_id | String | Specifies the ID of the IPv4 or IPv6 subnet where the backend server resides. neutron_subnet_id defines IPv4 subnets, and neutron_network_id defines IPv6 subnets. You can query parameters neutron_subnet_id and neutron_network_id in the response by calling the API GET https://{VPC_Endpoint}/v1/{project_id}/subnets to get the IPv4 subnet ID and IPv6 subnet ID respectively. Note:
|
protocol_port | Integer | Specifies the port used by the backend server to receive requests. Note:
|
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 or QUIC_CID, this parameter will not take effect. |
address | String | Specifies the private IP address bound to the backend server. Note:
|
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. |
operating_status | String | Specifies the health status of the backend server if listener_id under status is not specified. Value options:
|
reason | Specifies why health check fails. | |
status | Array of MemberStatus objects | Specifies the health status of the backend server if listener_id under status is specified. If listener_id under status is not specified, operating_status of member takes precedence. |
created_at | String | Specifies the time when the backend server was added. The format is yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z' (UTC time). |
updated_at | String | Specifies the time when the backend server was updated. The format is yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z' (UTC time). |
member_type | String | Specifies the type of the backend server. Value options:
|
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. |
Parameter | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
listener_id | String | Specifies the listener ID. |
operating_status | String | Specifies the health status of the backend server. Value options:
|
reason | Specifies why health check fails. |
Parameter | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
reason_code | String | Specifies the code of the health check failures. Value options:
|
expected_response | String | Specifies the expected HTTP status code. This parameter will take effect only when type is set to HTTP, HTTPS, or GRPC. The status code cannot be null if reason_code is RESPONSE_MISMATCH. Value options:
|
healthcheck_response | String | Specifies the status code of the health check responses. This parameter will take effect only when type is set to HTTP, HTTPS, or GRPC. The status code cannot be null if reason_code is RESPONSE_MISMATCH. Value options:
