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.

  • How to enable Network load balancing for Enterprise portal

    Hello,
    We have installed EP 7.0 central instance(00) and dialog instance (01) and would like to enable network load balancing between these two EP servers.Have installed network balancer and the configuration has been done at network level.
    The below URLs are being used for accessing the portal
    Central instance :
    http://CIhostname:50000/irj/portal
    Dialog Instance:
    http://DIhostname:50100/irj/portal
    Both the port number has to be same for enabling load balancing.In order to acive this we have to map this port to http port by making some changes in Visual Administrator.
    Can you please let me know step by step  procedure or any link where i can find the same?
    Appreciate your response
    Thanks,
    Vadi

    Dear Jay,
    Thnaks for your reply.
    No...NLB will helpful in load balancing between different 2 different  application (Ep)servers.
    We are using microsoft network load balancer.Found the service http provider in VA for making those changes.
    Any way thanks.

  • 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.

  • Network Load Balancing for AFP Sharing

    Dear all,
    Anyone can kindly teach me how can I configure network load balancing with 2 xserve?
    Currently I success to bond 6 ethernet port with a virtual IP in a single machine and I have a link aggregation setup in my switch. It works fine.
    How to configure 2 xserve with 6 ethernet port per each to have a single virtual IP?
    my switch do not support link aggregation with a virtual IP to do the load balancing so I just can consider to do it in software level.
    Anyone know whether OS Leopard/Snow Leopard can do it? Or any suggestion for 3rd party software can perform this?
    Thanks expert!
    Karl

    It sounds like you need a load balancer. There's nothing built-in to Mac OS X Server that's going to support one virtual IP address shared across multiple physical servers.
    Your problem, though, is likely to be one of throughput - I don't know any cheap load balancers that will sustain that kind of throughput, so you may be looking at some serious $$$$s.
    There are some software-based load balancers that might be able to handle the load balancing side of things but many of them are designed around HTTP so might not work so well for other protocols.
    In addition, the software load balancer is going to suffer the same bottleneck as your AFP server, but doubly so - two servers with 6 x 1gbps links each you have a theoretical limit of 12gbps.
    To run that through a load balancer, the load balancer will need double that - 12gbps for the client-side, plus 12gbps for the server side. In reality you're probably looking at needing 10gbps interfaces and switches if you're really pulling that much bandwidth.

  • 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.

  • Using Microsoft Network Load Balancing for Livecycle ES 2/2.5 with JBoss clustering?

    Hi,
    Has anyone tried using Microsoft NLB for Livecycle with JBoss clustering and get it working? Able to login to livecycle's admin ui page with the NLB IP
    My enviroment:
    - 2 jboss application server (different IP address)
    - Horizontal clustered
    - LC ES2 installed on both servers
    For those who setup successfully, hope you can share your experience.
    Thank you.

    Thanks!
    Just a few more questions...hehehe
    In the document: Configuring LiveCycle ES2 Application Server Clusters Using JBoss.
    Page 35 item 3.4. Have you had to configure the Caching Locators? If yes, where did you put them, in only one machine or in all of the nodes?
    On page 29, iten 2.7 (Testing the JBoss Application Server cluster) says that for testing we can run the command specifying the server, in my case is:
    run.bat -c lc_sqlserver_cl -b <ipAddress>
    But in the Appendix C: Configuring JBoss as a Windows Service, it says: call run.bat -c all -b <ipAddress>
    So when should I start JBoss with "lc_sqlserver_cl" or "all" ?

  • 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

  • Network Load Balancing and failover for AFP Sharing

    Dear all,
    Somebody kindly teach me to use round robin DNS to perform the network load balancing, it's success but not the failover.
    I have 4 xserve and want to do the load balancing and failover at the same time.
    I have read the IP failover document and setup it successfully, but anyone know is it possible to do the IP failover for more than 2 server?
    For example, 4 server serving the AFP service at the same time, maybe I have 1 more extra server to do the IP failover for thoese 4 servers.
    As I know, IP failover require Firewire as the heartbeat detection. But one xserve only have 2 firewire ports. May I setting up the IP failover only by a ethernet port and an IP address? does it possible to detect and failover to any server after server down has been detected?
    I believe load balancer maybe the best solution but its cost is too high.
    Thanks any advance!

    well, u have 2 options here
    software load balancing
    request comes it foo.com -> ws7u2 hosting foo.com is configured to run as reverse proxy . this server sends any incoming requests to one of the four back end web server 7 handling your incoming request
    hardware load balancing (this you need to invest)
    request comes to hardware load balancer who responds for foo.com -> sends requests to four ws7 server hosting your application
    you could try out how software load balancing works out for you before you invest in hardware load balancing
    here is more instruction on configuring ws7 + reverse proxy (software load configuration)
    - install ws7 on foo.com
    - create a new configuration (choose port 80, disable java

  • 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,

  • Windows Network Load Balancing - Virtual MAC Address

    Hi All,
    I have environment that running 2 Exchange 2010 server with CASHT and join windows network load balancing as a node.
    My question is,
    If NLB service is restart, is it virtual MAC Address for NLB will change to new virtual MAC Address?
    Thanks for response,
    Best Regards,
    Henry Stefanus

    Hi Henry Stefanus,
    The NLB work mechanism will not change whether what higher application we used and I am not very familiar with Exchange NLB architecture, may the following KB and article
    may help you.
    When you use the unicast method, all cluster hosts share an identical unicast MAC address. Network Load Balancing overwrites the original MAC address of the cluster adapter
    with the unicast MAC address that is assigned to all the cluster hosts.
    When you use the multicast method, each cluster host retains the original MAC address of the adapter. In addition to the original MAC address of the adapter, the adapter is
    assigned a multicast MAC address, which is shared by all cluster hosts. The incoming client requests are sent to all cluster hosts by using the multicast MAC address.

    Hi MS DEF,
    A second network adapter is required to provide peer-to-peer communication between cluster hosts. Please isolate your heartbeat network. With unicast when cluster is connected
    to a switch, incoming packets are sent to all the ports on the switch, which can cause switch flooding, please confirm you have setup your switch correct, you can refer the following Cisco Switch related unicast configuration.

  • Windows Server 2012 R2 - ADFS/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.

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that:2 ESXI 5.5 physical devices (192.168.0.5 and 192.168.0.6), each of them has a virtual WS 2012 R2(192.168.0.10 and 192.168.0.20). Cluster the 2 virtual servers successfully, but they corrupt with event
    ID 21, and a restart of virtual device will resolve this problem temporarily.
    Event ID 21 means that NLB failed to converge due to inconsistencies in the port rules between this host and cluster host. This will occur if the number of port rules or the type of port rules are different between hosts.
    Ensure that all NLB hosts have identical port rules. Detailed steps you may reference:

    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
    and how were you able to make it work?
    Below is my configuration.
    Static ARP Entry for Cluster IP Address has been added to our Layer 3 switch.

    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.

    "Just a help for everyone with this problem :
    After 10 days of research for our virtual datacenter behind a vcloud as iias ,  i found a solution .
    I only run windows 2012 server .
    Install vmware tools , remove e1000 network card after a vm stop, add a card same vswitch etc BUT with a vmxnet3 TYPE . DONT USE DEFAULT CARD
    Start and enjoy this solution . E1000 and E1000e are just unstable in windows8 / windows 2012 , the network card reset randomly with or without heavy IO. No log in windows , and as a vcloud user i don"t have esxi logs (damn i don't like cloud) and provider
    don"t know why ..."
