Question about Load balancing with IISPROXY

          Hi,
          We are running WLS 5.1.0 SP5 on NT 4.0 SP6. We are not using clustering.
          We are able to round robin between multiple instances of the WLS successfully.
          Question: If one of the instances of WLS goes down, is there any way to configure
          the plugin to take it out of the loop automatically (without using clustering)?
          Thanks,
          Anil.
          

This is not the syntax. Syntax is just this:
          MaxSkips=something.
          eg: MaxSkips=25
          The doc says:
          5:10:1000 for min:default:max
          By which we mean that default value is 10, max is 1000 and min is 5. I guess the
          docs are confusing about the syntax here. We will correct them.

  • Question about Load Balance SFTP service by using CSS1150X

    Does anyone come across of load balancing SFTP service by using CSS1150X? Typically by configuring CSS1150X to load balance FTP service, the configuration will as follow:
    content ftp_rule
    vip address 192.168.3.6
    protocol tcp
    port 21
    application ftp-control
    add service serv1
    add service serv2
    add service serv3
    active
    group ftp_group
    vip address 192.168.3.6
    add service serv1
    add service serv2
    add service serv3
    active
    However, for my personal understanding and knowledge, I will configure my CSS1150X as follow to load balance SFTP service:
    content sftp_rule
    vip address 192.168.3.6
    protocol tcp
    port 22 //Change 21 to 22
    application ftp-control
    add service serv1
    add service serv2
    add service serv3
    active
    group sftp_group
    vip address 192.168.3.6
    add service serv1
    add service serv2
    add service serv3
    active
    My question is, "application ftp-control" in content "ftp_rule" is still applicable to SFTP or not?

    I believe application ftp-control would not be used for sftp.
    This might cause the session to get dropped when there is no data channel created and cause issues with long connections.
    Hope it helps!!

  • Question RAC load balance with app

    Hi there,
    How RAC help load balance the database if most of my applications connection use JDBC with specific IP or hostname. I'm using JDBC:thin client and not OCI.
    Is there configuration that allows the application without specify the hostname? If I SQLPLUS, I can logon to the database with username/password and SID. I know the connection is going through Oracle Net with the tnsnames.ora file.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Thin JDBC supports multiple specifications for connection url. You can refer to this document http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/java.102/b14355/urls.htm#BEICDECB for more information.

  • Question about load balancing between Portal and ABAP

    Hi,
    I have the problem whit load balancing between Portal and ECC (ERC) ABAP
    Exist two system:
    1) ECC (ERP) ABAP = Backend     Module = HR
    2) EP (JAVA) = Frontend
    The users (9000 users) logon in the EP and run query (data personal) in the ECC.  The problem to all user connect in Central Instance and not in the Dialog Instance.
    How can balancing the conecction HTTP (EP) to ECC (ABAP)??
    I need balancing in the ECC to Dialog Instance

    Jco -> right. Another possibility is that you use iviews that point to the backend in this case you will need to use a load balanced entry for the backend system in the [system landscape|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/47/8c1e438d7017fce10000000a42189c/frameset.htm] -> SAP_R3_LoadBalancing
    If you have ESS deployed on your portal, you will most probably need to do both.

  • Question about Load Balancing Wireless connections using WLC- F5- ISE

    Hi all,
    Can anyone give me some orientation how the radius auth process/handshake between the WLC and ISE changes once the F5 is installed in the middle in order to perform load balancing?
    We can do some kind of load balancing by configuring different radius servers on each WLC for which, I must configure the same shared secret in the WLC and ISE so the radius request/accept could be processed.
    Now that we have the F5 in the middle, do I need to create/configure the same shared secret in the F5 so radius transactions can be processed by this device?. Based on the following link, I must configure the F5 in the ISE like another NAD device (similar to the WLC) but I do not know if this additional configuration in the ISE includes the Auth parameter to be added in the ISE NAD (F5) configuration.
    How to properly use a load balancer in Cisco's Identity Services Engine

    Our sheme is shown next,

    When you covert the pair into SSO, all the APs will go to the ACTIVE unit.  No unit will "live" in the standby unit because this unit will "share" the AP-support license between the two.
    This is the first step you need to get sorted.  Send an email to [email protected] and give them the exact details of what you want to do (i. e.  AP SSO) and then provide the serial number of your nominated active WLC and the serial number of your nominated standby WLC.

  • Load Balancing with BigIP / SSL question

    I have an oddball question. We're load balancing ColdFusion
    MX7 across 3 servers using a BigIP load balancing server. We
    decided to go the hardware approach and it has been great except
    for one small configuration issue.
    We use a mix of SSL and non SSL pages, prior to the switch
    from a single server to a load balanced setup I used to script that
    would determine if a page that was supposed to be SSL had the
    variable CGI.HTTPS turned on or off. If it was off, the page would
    redirect back to itself with the SSL turned on.
    The problem we have is that we followed BigIP's instruction
    to secure the load balancing hardware instead of the three servers
    running behind it. So what happens is that the traffic goes to the
    load balancer port 441, but then the calls from the load balancer
    to the individual servers is port 80. So even if a page is called
    as HTTPS://... the coldfusion server says that CGI.HTTPS is "off"
    since the traffic is port 80.
    This isn't much of a problem, our SSL pages are linked as
    HTTPS:// and the only problem would actually arise if someone was
    to type in the URL and call it as HTTP rather than HTTPS.
    My questions is this, does anyone know of a way that I can
    detect if the page should be HTTPS and is not without changing our
    configuration and putting SSL certificates on each individual
    server?

    Hey,
    Well the load balancing with the BigIP device is really very
    amazing. I think
    what i liked most was swapping out servers when their lease
    was up, through the
    BigIP manager I just stopped all traffic to a server, shut it
    down, plugged in
    the new one and turned traffic back on. It was really very
    easy.
    The SSL stuff still gives me a headache to think about. but
    I should mention I
    no longer work where I was, plus now I'm all .net C# but
    that's a different
    story.
    I think if I was going to do this all again I would not have
    secured the bigIP
    unit. It was nice to buy one SSL cert for all the servers I
    attached rather
    than one per server, but getting the SSL sites to work
    properly was a headache.
    We also use windows file replication where now I would go
    with like a pair of
    Dell MD1000's mirrored for storage and just have tons of ram
    and cpu on the
    front end units. Depends what you want to spend I guess. I
    think the bigIP unit
    we bought was like 20 grand, i think they are cheaper now
    though.
    Hope I helped.

  • Multihomed eBGP load balancing with 3 ISP's

    We currently peer with 2 ISPs using BGP in an active/failover configuration.  My company wants to move to a 3 ISP model where Internet traffic is split across the 3 providers so that bandwidth is equally distributed on outgoing traffic across our 2 /22 ARIN IP ranges.  This is from our 2 edge switches that have VSS.  
    Within my limited knowledge of BGP, I have determined that we could do load sharing pretty easily by adding multiple default routes and breaking up our /22's into /24 and advertising them that way.  However, I don't think this satisfies the request that downtime must be seamless, should one link drop.  
    Currently, our ISP's advertise default routes.  From the research that I've done, we could get close to load balanced links if we receive full BGP routes and community settings and definitions.  I'm nervous about this because it looks really complicated, and I don't want our AS to turn into a transit AS.  I've been told the same can be accomplished with only partial BGP routes and community settings and definitions.  
    Personally, I think we just need a WAN load balancer.  However, given the request, is there a thread out there that can explain this, or can someone discuss this requested scenario a little bit?  
    Thanks!

    Hi there
    First question would be what is the required reconvergence time for the applications using the Internet? Should an outage occur, when do they lose their state? Once you know that, you then have a target to aim for in terms of recovery
    With regards load-balancing, with BGP we are always talking inbound and outbound.
    The outbound solution is relatively simple - each ISP advertises a default route to your Internet edge router(s). Create an eBGP session from each edge router to the core, advertise the default route and redistribute into the IGP. Ensure the IGP cost to each BGP next hop is equal and you have ECMP for outbound routing.
    Inbound influence is usually via MED (not likely in this case given 3 ISPs), adjusting local-pref in the ISP via BGP EXT communities configured your end, or via AS-PATH prepending for longer prefixes from your /22. Prepending would be simplest, but your unlikely to get an exact inbound traffic split, however a relatively even distribution should be sufficient.

  • Load balancing with JSP

    Anyone and everyone,
    When configuring load balancing with Weblogic clusters, does load
    balancing take effect for all services or just EJB and RMI? Or another
    way of saying the same thing, can I setup weighted load balancing for
    the JSP engines across 2 weblogic servers.
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

    The load-balancing documentation you read describing the different algorithms only applies to RMI stubs (e.g., EJB clients). Please see http://www.weblogic.com/docs51/cluster/concepts.html#1026091 for a description of how load-balancing/clustering works with servlets/JSPs.
    The short answer is that in using servlet clustering, most people want/need/use in-memory replication for HttpSession objects. In WLS 5.1 (and before), in-memory replication requires one or more proxy servers be set-up in front of the cluster. Typically, most people use something like BigIP to load-balance
    across the proxy servers and let the weblogic plug-in for the proxy server handle the routing to the cluster. The plug-in uses round-robin until an HttpSession is established for a user, then it always tries to route to the server where the user's session is located.
    Hope this helps,
    Robert

How about Weblogic handle weight based balancing after DNS round robin ip response? or just can choose one way instead of both?
    What's the big difference between choosing BigIP and software balancing (WL)?

  • How does load-balancing with WebCache work - is there still a bottleneck?

    Hello,
    We're migrating an old Forms 6i app to 10.1.2.0.2 (apps servers = Redhat Linux), and are starting to consider using WebCache to loadbalance between two application servers.
    My question is this - say we have apps servers A and B, both running Forms and Reports Services. We use Webcache on server A (don't have the luxury of a third apps server...) to load balance between A and B. So all initial requests come into A, which in some cases may then be diverted to start a new Forms session on B.
    For those users whose middle-tier sessions are now running on B - will all network traffic for their Forms session continue to be routed through Webcache on A, then to B, over the course of the session? Or does Webcache somehow shunt the whole connection to be straight between the client PC and server B, for the duration of that Forms session?
    If the former, does that mean that the server hosting Webcache can still be a significant bottleneck for network traffic? Have people found load-balancing with Webcache to be useful..?
    Thanks in advance,
    James

    so we down app2 and check.Guys tell me how could i check in that duration that whether connnection going to rac2.
    i am unable to find the parameter of sessions connected in awr .Please tell how could i identify

    i have stopped the IM's of one of my application server and checked the connections to my database with below query and according to it its connecting to both instances.Does it means that load balancing is happening fine.

  • CF 10 Load-Balancing with Remote Instances

    I was reading an article on Clustering/LB/HA using CF8, but have not found any updates for CF10.
    Using VM VirtualBox to setup a few virtual servers, I am looking to setup a load balancing of ColdFusion 10 on 2 remote instances. The goal would be have ColdFusion Cluster Manager be able to point http request to one of the two servers based on load/availability. Not really having a hardware cluster/failover setup, just managing resources on two CF instances instead of a standalone.
    The servers are Windows Server 2008 R2 with IIS7.5 and ColdFusion 10 Enterprise on installed on 3 of these machines. Let's call them CF-LBManager, CF-Web1, and CF-Web 2. In the CF Docs, they show the Cluster Manager adding the local CF instance and "if you want" a remote instance. However, this scenario would require the main instance to be running and not fail for it to direct to the other instance.
    I am trying to set this up now with CF-LBManager as just a manager of the requests coming in. In the Enterprise Manager >> Instance Manager, the local instance is shown and I add the two remote instances with the correct Remote Port, JVM Route, etc. I also made sure the <Cluster>...</Cluster> block was added to the two remote instances (CF-Web1 and CF-Web2) \runtime\conf\server.xml file too, Jetty Services also is running. Now under the Enterprise Manager >> Cluster Manager I add the two remote instances to the cluster, not the local instance on CF-LBManager with Multicast Port and Sticky Sessions enabled. On Submit, I get a green message "You must restart all the server instances and any configured webservers for these changes to take effect.". I go ahead and reboot the servers and come back.
    I now browse to the ColdFusion page as a test on CF-Web1 and CF-Web2 to make sure CF is running properly, they do. I then browse the IP of the CF-LBManager, however it only returns the local IIS web site and not redirect to one of the two cluster members. I am not seeing any message on the coldfusion-out.log on the remote instances. Am I not setting this up correctly or not enabling the Cluster Manager to take over and pass along the requests to those in the cluster?

    Unfortunatley I don't have a lot of experience with CF10 on Windows, but if you are running CF behind IIS I think  you will need to update the Tomcat connector configuraiton to do load balancing. I'm not sure if re-running the wsconfig tool on all of the servers will do this or not, but that is what I would suggest trying first. If that doesn't work you will need to update the Tomcat connector configuraiton manually. You can find more information on load balancing with the Tomcat connector here: http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/generic_howto/loadbalancers.html.

  • Newbie question about loading servlets on tomcat

    I have what is probably a very basic question about loading simple servlets on to tomcat to test its installation. I have followed instructions from numerous tutorials to the letter but still I can't get it to work.
    I have installed tomcat on win2k in c:\tomcat. I set up the jdk, environment vars (JAVA_HOME, CATALINA_HOME, TOMCAT_HOME) which all point at the correct dirs. I can compile a servlet without errors. I can also place a test jsp and html file into the root directory and they both work fine.
    However, now I am trying a test servlet and no matter what I do it gives me a 404. I have a servlet class file called "HelloServlet.class" which I placed into the %install_dir%\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes directory. I try to reference it using this url:
    http://localhost/servlet/HelloServlet
    Tomcat is configured to use port 80 and has been restarted after adding the servlet class file. Does anyone have a clue why this is not working for me?
    Many thanks
    Marc

    You have to add in the web.xml file that it is in the WEB-INF dir, the information about your servlet. An example:
    <web-app>
    <servlet>
    <servlet-name>HelloServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>HelloServlet</servlet-class>
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>HelloServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/HelloServlet</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    </web-app>

  • CSS Load Balancing with Cookies

    We are trying to load balance 2 backend servers hosted on Websphere with advance balance cookies method.
    Restrictions
    ServerA is unable to accept cookies generated from ServerB.
    ServerA and ServerB are generating random cookies
    Unable to modify cookie string with a constant.
    How can we load balance based on cookies considering the above restrictions?
    We have attempted to do hash based load balancing with cookies but the problem we run into is the servers do not accept cookies generated from another server.
    The configuration we tried is written below:
    service ServerA
    ip address 192.168.10.2
    keepalive type tcp
    keepalive port 80
    active
    service ServerB
    ip address 192.168.20.2
    keepalive type tcp
    keepalive port 80
    active
    content ABC
    url "/*"
    add service ServerA
    string prefix "JSESSIONID="
    advanced-balance cookies
    port 80
    add service ServerB
    string skip-length 5
    string process-length 16
    string operation hash-xor
    protocol tcp
    vip address 172.16.32.1
    active
    Can we change the string prefix to JSESSION instead of JSESSIONID= ?
    The only place the app guys can add a constant string to match on is before the = sign.
    Is it possible for CSS to match on a constant string before = sign e.g below:
    service ServerA
    ip address 192.168.10.2
    keepalive type tcp
    keepalive port 80
    string id567=
    active
    service ServerB
    ip address 192.168.20.2
    keepalive type tcp
    keepalive port 80
    string id123=
    active
    content ABC
    url "/*"
    add service ServerA
    string prefix "JSESSION"
    advanced-balance cookies
    port 80
    add service ServerB
    string skip-length 0
    string process-length 6
    protocol tcp
    vip address 172.16.32.1
    active

    It should work.
    There is no reason for it not to work...
    This is the best method you can have on the CSS for stickyness.
    Get a sniffer trace on the client and server with arrowpoint cookie configured on the CSS and capture a failure so we can see what is going on.
    also send me the config so I can verify everything is ok.
    If you have a service request open with the TAC, you can also give the SR # so I can review what has been done.

  • Load Balancing With Round Robin

    Hi,
    I have two iAS instances, each on their own box, and one iWS instance
    running on a third box. I have setup the web connector to use round
    robin and added the server weights. I believe that is all that is to it
    to do simple load balancing with iAS. The problem is is that the
    requests only go to one iAS instance. The server weights are 1 and 1.
    Am I missing something here?
    Thanks

    Could be lots of things.
    The most common misconfiguration is testing an application that is deployed "local". This application option effectively disables load balancing.
    Another common mistake is to either not update the configuration of the webconnector (if the webconnector
    has a seperate configuration LDAP) or to not restart
    the webconnector after the configuration change.
    Hope this helps. There's more things we could try, but I'll hope its one of these two easy things.
