Locking and Unlocking Media Components
When you lock a Media Component, the Cluster Manager stops allocating it new media sessions. You can lock the Media Component "gracefully", whereby the Cluster Manager allows the Media Component to continue processing only currently active media sessions until a user-defined time (graceful timeout). For more information on graceful timeout, see Configuring Graceful Timeout.
Unlocking a Media Component takes the Media Component out of locked state and allows the Cluster Manager to start allocating it new media sessions.
It's recommended to perform maintenance actions through the Stack Manager (instead of the device's Web interface or CLI). For more information, refer to the Stack Manager User's Manual.
