Installing 2 Application server and 1 DB server and load balancing for 11i

Hi,
I need info on how to install and configure load balancing for 11.5.8 on Win2000. The scenario: 1 db server DB, 2 apps/web/forms servers AP1 and AP2. Using rapid install you can only specify one db server A and one form server in multi node installations, right? How do I install the form server on AP2? Can I use the same config.txt? The computer name for AP2 is different.
Thanks & Regards,
Jagal

I have the very same issue. We want to install 4 web/form servers on a hardware load-balancer and the issue is we can only specify one forms server.
Does anyone know the secret bullet here?
Thanks
John

Setting up Load Balancing for 11i for Intranet & Internet Access

Our current environment for 11i (11.5.5) is accessed only internally (via Intranet). We need to allow outside access (via Internet) also for self-service apps (ie. HR). Oracle Support/Metalink has stated that Load Balancing (note 148155.1) is the only supported method to have multiple (Apps Servers) systems access a single database. Could I get feedback from anyone who has implemented Load Balancing for 11i? Additionally if someone has implemented this for both intranet and internet access how has your company setup? Do the secondary server(s) from the Load Balancing note reside in the DMZ? And thus the primary app server and database reside inside the firewall? Thanks....

Hi,
We are using 6 middle tiers for internal access for intranet access and 2 middle tiers in External DMZ with only web server running for Extrenal Access over Internet for Self Service.
You Implement one Load Balancer for first 6 internal Middle Tiers with site level profiles pointing to Internal .
You implement second Load balancer for external 2 middle tiers with server level profile options for these two servers pointing to External Load balancer .

Reverse Proxy and Load Balancer for SMP 2.3 and Agentry Application

Hi Expert,
I'm putting in place a mobile solution composed by SMP 2.3 SPS 4 and SAP ECC 6.0. In the SMP 2.3 I created the agentry server and I have deployed my agentry application.
My SMP/Agentry infrastructure is composed by two servers therefore I need a load balancer for balance the load into the several servers. Furthermore I need to use a reverse proxy in my DMZ zone.
Based on what indicated in the SAP note "1904213 - SAP Mobile Platform Server Release Information" the Apache Reverse Proxy is not supported for Agentry clients. Agentry uses nginx for Reverse Proxy.
I also found the following document How-to-Guide for Reverse Proxy and Load Balancing in SAP Mobile Platform 3.x that explain how to set-up a reverse proxy and load balancer with nginx and apache.
Both the SAP note and the HOW to document are refereed to SMP 3.0 and not to SMP 2.3.
I would know if the NGINX must be used also for SMP 2.3.
Any suggestion/information is appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Web load balancer for web application server

Hi.
We are planning to very large system (6,000 users) and They will use BSP application.
So, We need web load balancing method.
I think We have two choice : L4 switch or SAP Web Dispacther.
Is there any recommendation for web load balancing method ?
Which one is better for large user load balancing ?
Regards, Arnold.

Another good advantage of Web dispatcher is web based monitoring, SSL config etc.

Windows Server 2012 R2 - Windows Network Load Balancing Converging Issue

Hello,
My name is Brandon. We have started upgrading our servers to Windows Server 2012 R2. We have some powerful servers for running ESXI 5.5 as the OS with the Guest Operating Systems as Windows Server 2012 R2. As far of our migrations/upgrades we have configured
ADFS 2012 R2 into a Server Farm with Windows Network Load Balancing to add redundancy in the event a server goes down.
I have been having issues with a Node with the Cluster getting stuck in the Status of Converging. The only way I have been able to get it back up is to restart the virtual server completely and it is temporary. When I first configure the Cluster the two
virtual servers get added to the Node with no problems and fully converge. However, after some time a node will end up in Converging and this takes Authentication for ADFS down as the nodes can not be contacted over Port 443.

I have tried using 1 & 2 Virtual NICs on the machines and still receive this error even if only 1 VNIC is assigned to the virtual machine. Could someone assist me with why I am having this issue? Has anyone had experience with a similar configuration

Thank you for your response. It took me a while to figure it out, but the whole issue was related to the type of Virtual Network Adapter I was selecting.
I changed the network adapter from E1000 to VMXNET 3 and have not had a single error in the event logs or Windows NLB.
I read somewhere that VMXNET 3 is preferred for Windows Server 2012 R2.

Cisco switches and virtual ip address(load balancing address) on xenapp portals

Hi I am quite new in configuring cisco switches and stumble across an issue after installing xenapp7.6 with load balanced portal to the ddc`s
It seems i only can ping or get access to portal if using real ip address behind cisco switch from other subnets in my network.
I can ping ddc01 and ddc02 and connect to the portal with http without problem. However when i triy to access the load balancing address of the ddc`s
it wont answer to ping or http
In same subnett it is no problem connecting to the load balancing address of the ddc`s, but in loactions on other subnets i only can access real server ip
eks
dd01 192.168.1.4 ok ping and access behind cisco switch from subnets
ddc02 192.168.1.5 ok to ping access behind cisco switch from subnets
load balancing for both ddc 192.168.1.6 not able to get answer og access from subnets, only in same subnett
Is there any way to configure switch to access the load balancing address of the ddc`s ?

Network load balancer for Agentry applications

Hi Expert,
I'm going to implement a SAP Mobile Platform solution that will use an agentry application and I need some clarification about the HA configuration and the usage of the network load balancer and relay server. Just for information I'm going to use SMP 2.3 SP4.
My understanding is that Relay server is a reverse proxy and load balancer for SMP but It can't be used for the agentry applications. Is this correct?
Based on the standard configuration in order to balance the load of the client devices in the SMP cluster I have to use a Network load balancer, therefore the technical architecture of my solution should be the following:
|Agentry Client device| ----> | Network Load Balancer | ----> | SMP and Agentry Cluster| -----> |Back end systems|
Is this correct? I didn't find specifications about the Network load balancer.. Is there a list of the Network load balancer products supported from SAP for agentry application. Is there any best practice on the network load balancer?
Thank you in advance for you collaboration.

Because we don't test any directly with our QA we don't have have a preferred products. Talking to our consulting group they normally just use what the customer already has installed in their network. Both Software or hardware load balancers has been used.
The key part needed for the load balancer for Agentry 6.0.x and SMP 2.3 (not SMP 3) that it is set to TCP Pass through.

Load Balancing for Microsoft Orchestrator application

Hi Folks,
We are trying to configure Load Balancing for Orchestrator Server.
We have closely 200 users running a workflow.. so in that case, we need to configure the Runbook Server as a application load balancing cluster, so please do share me the configuration guides..
Regards,

Best regards, Venu.

I'm in the middle of doing this right now. There is a doc on metalink (233428.1) that details the process. I would highly recommend trying this in dev/test env first. Even though the instructions are very straight forward and not very complicated, I'm still having configuration issues.

What is the alternative of F5 BIG-IP LTM Load Balancer for OEM 12c

We want to implement service load balance, however oracle recommended
F5 BIG-IP LTM Load Balancer for OEM 12c
How much it is cost? and is there any free alternative we can use which supported by Oracle?
Thanks

Apart from F5, Cisco is another SLB vendor. I am not sure about any free alternative though.
Note that regardless what SLB that you pick, it should meet the requirements documented in section 29.3.2.2 of the EM12c Release 3 Administrator's Guide:
The SLB must provide support for multiple virtual server ports. Enterprise Manager typically requires that up to 4 ports are configured on the SLB (Secure Upload, Agent Registration, Secure Console, Unsecure Console)
Support for persistence. HTTP and HTTPS traffic between the browser and the OMS requires persistence
Support for application monitoring. The SLB must be capable of monitoring the health of the OMSs and detecting failures, so that requests will not be routed to OMSs that are not availa

Does Traffic Manager provide database load balancing for MySQL?

I need two VMs to implement MySQL Cluster in Windows Azure. VMs allow configure endpoint load balance set for Mysql, but I did not find tcp protocol in Traffic Manager. Does it provide this service for database
load balancing?

Hi,
Traffic Manager works on the DNS level and routes traffic between public endpoints that sit behind a common DNS name. So you can't use this for your scenario.
However, You can implement
load balancing for VMs in another way.

Network Load balancing for Server 2003 and Server 2012

Our environment currently has 2 web servers running Windows Server 2003 with Network Load Balancing. We are looking to update the servers to Windows Server 2012. Is it possible to add Windows Server 2012 into the Windows Server 2003 Network Load
balancing cluster? This way we could bring up 2 new servers add them into the network load balancing and then take out the 2003 servers without disrupting our production.
Any thoughts or suggestions on how to make this work properly?

Hi,
You can upgrade an existing Network Load Balancing (NLB) cluster to Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, or Windows Server 2012 by taking the entire cluster offline
and upgrading all the hosts, or you can leave the NLB cluster online and perform a rolling upgrade. A rolling upgrade entails taking individual cluster hosts offline one at a time, upgrading each host, and returning the host to the cluster. You continue upgrading
individual cluster hosts until the entire cluster is upgraded. A rolling upgrade allows the cluster to continue running during the upgrade.

Server load balancing for application access using multiple servers

1.what are the methods supported by cisco switches for load balancing
2. I want to achive users to access 1 particular ip from different locations but phsically few servers which handle the application and data

well some servers allow you to install routing protocols on them. you could OSPF some links together.
or you could NLB if it is a microsoft server. this uses a heartbeat network, a virtual mac and an IP address bound to the vmac.
you could use NIC teaming. broadcom nics on dell servers allow you to configure them for loadbalancing, failover and a few other options.
or if the servers are mirrored using MSCS or something similar (i.e configured the same but independant) you could just load balance using DNS.
hope this helps. jsut some ideas quickly off the top of my head

Installing Applications not requiring user name and password?

Hi, I'm experiencing the bug that everyone is experiencing where my suer doesn't have administrative rights to my computer. But I seem to be operating fine.
The question I have is, should I be able to install applications without a username or password? When I just installed Adobe Flash Player 9 on my computer (downloaded from Adobe) it didn't require a username or password. Has anyone else experienced this? I have always been asked for it in the past. What is up with that?

This was an fresh install of Leopard without any historical data. I did restore my backed up my documents folder once leopard was installed but that was it. It seemed this all started when I tried to install some software and discovered that I no longer had an administrative user for my computer. Regardless it does concern me that there is a way for software to be installed into Leopard under the right circumstances. I finally was able to get my user back to admin rights via a workaround where I enable the "root" user. Anyway I finally gave up and went back to Tiger (luckily have been doing regular back-ups of my data). I am going to report these bugs to Apple or try to anyway. I'm just frustrated that things went so bad so quickly and I don't feel like I was doing anything out of the ordinary with my computer. I have done first installs of mac OS's the week they came out in the past and have never seen anything like this.

When trying to install the Creative Cloud Setup, all my windows flicker and I get a loading wheel for about 5 seconds. After that, the loading and flickering stops and nothing happens. Windows 7 desktop.

CSS Load balancing for Exchange Server

Hi,
I have CSS configured in single arm and I have multiple servers configured for load balancing and it is working fine but when I am configuring Exchange server for load balancing I am facing problem and applications and printer/scanners are not able to send the email through the Virtual IP address configured for exchaneg server.
But if we configured the real server IP in the printer/scanners they are able to send the email. While checking the logs on the exchange server, it is showing that request for the email so coming from the Exchange VIP configured in the CSS.
I can telnet on port 25 on the VIP address (192.168.200.237). But unable to send the email through this VIP.
Below is the configuration

Please let me know how to solve this problem. System team is saying with the physical IP address it is working fine problem with Load balancing. I have even tried with the

I think this is related to single arm modle or some wrong configuration for the NAT.
Kindly assist me
