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

  • App.server load balancing for SAP System with 1 PS

    Hi,
    In SAP CPS 7.0 (Build M26.12) I have a SAP system with Central Instance + 10 App.servers, but all instances are managed by 1 ProcessServer.
    After activating the "App.server load balancing" setting in SAP system definition the application servers are becoming visible in CPS with their load factors (number of BGD wp's on app.servers) and load numbers (number of active jobs on app.servers).
    This is so far fine, but the additional functionality is not working as I would expect, I have issues with 2 functionalities:
    1. Based on documentation after activating also the XAL connection the CPS should submit the job on app.server with best performance based on XAL monitoring data filling the TARGET_SERVER parameter.
    This functionality is not working for me at all
    2. A useful functionality after activating the "App.server load balancing" setting is that the ProcessServer is going to "Overloaded" status when all BGD wp's of SAP system are occupied, thus restricting submitting new jobs during overload situation. But I had an issue also with this functionality, after SAP system recovery from overload situation, the CPS still remained in Overload status (so no new jobs were submitted).
    As a workaround I had increased the treshold values for loads on all app.servers for this SAP system, what was fine for several days, but after a while I believe this was a reason of unexpected performance issues in CPS, therefore I have deactivated the 'App.server load balancing" setting at all for this ProcessServer.
    I would appreciate your feedbacks with this functionality.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Ernest Liczki

    Hi Preetish,
    This connect string option is to loadbalance RFC connections. These are balanced upon login, once you are connected to a particular application server (AS) you stay on that server until you reconnect.
    Since CPS uses multiple RFC connections, this will result in the connections being distributed over the available AS resources which is fine as long as they are generally evenly loaded. If you have certain AS hosts that are continuosly more loaded than the rest, then you probably don't want the CPS RFC connections to end up on these servers.
    The original question is about loadbalancing of batch jobs over the available AS resources, and this is done independent of the RFC connection load balancing. Even if all CPS RFC connections are pinned to the DB/CI host, you can still loadbalance jobs over the available SAP AS hosts, either by using SAPs builtin balancing, or the CPS algorithm by activating the checkbox as indicated in the first entry in this thread.
    Finally, to reply to Ernest's question: I believe there are some fixes on the app load balancing in the latest release, M26.17 should be available on the SWDC now.
    Regards,
    Anton.

  • Server Load Balance in one network using CSM Cat6509

    I have 2 Web Servers with real IP address 10.1.12.61 and 10.1.12.62 (subnet mask 255.255.255.0). The virtual IP address configured on CSM is 10.1.12.100
    I also have 2 Application Servers with real IP address 10.1.12.81 and 10.1.12.82 (subnet mask 255.255.255.0). The virtual IP address is 10.1.12.120.
    Users will access Web server using the virtual IP address (10.1.12.100) so that the traffic will be load balanced.
    But there is also requirement that those Web Servers access Application Servers using IP address 10.1.12.120 so that the traffic will be load balanced as well.
    Is this requirement feasible?
    Can CSM load balance between servers in one network address?

    Budiman,
    I am building the same situatiuon here. But the most simple part seems not to be working. I have two webservers in the same subnet as my VIP.
    The clients can be everywhere in every subnet.
    This is what happens:
    btpebgw70#sh mod contentSwitchingModule 9 conns
    prot vlan source destination state
    In TCP 401 192.6.53.42:1901 151.183.58.196:80 ESTAB
    Out TCP 401 151.183.58.196:80 192.6.53.42:1901 ESTAB
    ok this is good but:
    btpebgw70#sh mod contentSwitchingModule 9 reals detail
    151.183.58.201, ORBIS, state = OPERATIONAL
    conns = 0, maxconns = 4294967295, minconns = 0
    weight = 8, weight(admin) = 8, metric = 0, remainder = 0
    total conns established = 58, total conn failures = 58
    the failures have the same value as the established. Can you send me your config part of the csm because I am getting tired of this. Please email to [email protected]
    Thanks in advance!

  • CSM(content switching module) supports the 2 tier server load balance ?

    hi everyone,
    Does any know the CSM support 2 tier server load balance ?
    this means that CSM perform the server load balance for servers and the same servers require another time Server load balance. In the other word,
    the CSM supports server port and client port for server load balance ?
    thanks
    fred.

    Hi, this seems to describe a typical case of multi-tier design where the CSM needs to handle 2 types of connections:
    1. clients->CSM->serverfarm1
    2. serverfarm1->CSM->serverfarm2
    We usually refer to the second type of connections as server-to-server load balanced traffic.
    There is no problem in handling that scenario with the CSM and you have a few options.
    In particular, each virtual server on the CSM can be configured to only accept incoming connections from a specific VLAN, so you can use that as an additional security measure or to distinguish connections based on which VLAN they come in from.
    If you want to, you could even configure the CSM with 2 virtual servers with the same exact virtual IP and L4 port, but listening on 2 separate VLANs (the client-side VLAN and serverfarm1 VLAN) and use a different server farm based on that.
    One important thing to keep in mind when handling server-to-server load balanced connections: if serverfarm1 and serverfarm2 are on the same VLAN, you have to configure "client NAT" for the server-to-server connections, to force the return traffic back to the CSM.

  • How to remove farm account from Application Discovery and Load Balancer Service Application

    Hello Community
        Using Sharpoint 2010 Server I think the reason
    the User Profile Synchronization would stop is because somehow the farm
    account was registered as a managed account.  So I removed the farm
    account from all services that ran under the farm account so that I could
    run Remove-SPManagedAccount or click the Remove icon in manage service accounts
    and then unregisted farm account as a managed account.
       But before I can run Remove-SPManagedAccount I need to remove it from one more
    service account that uses the farm account which is:
        "Application Discovery and Load Balanceer Service Account".
        However, nothing seems to remove it from there.
        I tried :
    "get-spserviceapplication | where {$_.TypeName -match "Application Discovery and Load Balancer Service Application"}
        and then
    "stop-spserviceinstance "dde7fbef-b068-4687-bedb-f67230efab5a"
        amongst a host of other methods so that I could ultimately
    unregister farm account as a managed account.
        But no matter what I do when I try to remove the farm account from Application Discovery
    and Load Balancer Service Application
    and then unregister the farm account as a managed account a message always says
    "Application Discovery and Load Balancer Service Application" is using the farm account
    as its service account.
        What can I do to free the farm account from Application Discovery and Load Balancer Service Application?
        Thank you
        Shabeaut

    The Farm Account is always a Managed Account and can never be "unmanaged". You don't have to set the automatic password roll.

  • 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?

  • Using ACE for proxy server load balancing

    Hello groups,
    I wanted to know your experiences of using ACE for proxy server load balancing.
    I want to load balance to a pool of proxy servers. Note: load-balancing should be based on the HTTP URL (i can't use source or dest. ip address) so that
    a certain domain always gets "cached/forwarded" to the same proxy server. I don't really want to put matching
    criteria in the configuration (such as /a* to S1, /b* to S2, /c* to S3,etc..), but have this hash calculated automatically.
    Can the ACE compute its own hash based on the number of "online" proxy servers ? ie. when 4 servers are online, distribute domains between 1,2,3,4 evenly.
    Should server 4 fail, recalculate hash so that the load of S4 gets distributed across the other 3 evenly. Also load-balancing domains of S1 ,S2 and S3 should not change if S4 fails.....
    regards,
    Geert

    This is done with the following predictor command:
    Scimitar1/Admin# conf t
    Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
    Scimitar1/Admin(config)# serverfarm Proxy
    Scimitar1/Admin(config-sfarm-host)# predictor hash ?
      address         Configure 'hash address' Predictor algorithms
      content         Configure 'hash http content' Predictor algorithms
      cookie          Configure 'hash cookie' Predictor algorithms
      header          Configure 'hash header' Predictor algorithm
      layer4-payload  Configure 'hash layer4-payload' Predictor algorithms
      url             Configure 'hash url' Predictor algorithm
    Scimitar1/Admin(config-sfarm-host)# predictor hash url
    It does hash the url and the result takes into account the number of active proxies dynamically.
    This command has been designed for this kind of scenario that you describe.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Advantages of using a webserver inbetween a load balancer and application servers

    I am building out a new weblogic domain.
    I am wondering which one of these configuration to go with:
    1. Load balancer > weblogic servers
    2. Load balancer > web server > weblogic servers
    Could someone tell me what are the specific advantages of having web servers inbetween a load balancer and application servers (besides caching static data content and acting as a proxy)?
    Thanks in advance
    Srini

    Other than hosting the static content, nothing much really.   We have our load balancer go straight to WL for applications without static content and route to web server if there is static content.   Easy enough to do it both ways, best of both worlds.

  • CSS Load Balancing for MS Winsock Proxy Client

    Has anyone load balanced Microsoft Winsock Proxy client? I am trying to load balance internal users using the Winsock client to two MS ISA Servers running Winsock proxy for application access to the internet.

    Thanks for the post, I got this from Microsoft:
    I wanted to update you on the information I investigated on the firewall client. I found the the actual port connection used to control the connection thru ISA is by default UDP. This UDP session is over 1745 to the ISA server. This intial connection then allows for a connection over an ephemeral port to the ISA server for the actual data transfer. The data transfer is done via a TCP connection. The connection control is UDP based by default. This can be changed in the Wspcfg.ini file. By adding the ControlChannel value to the WSP_client_app section of this file, you can use WSP.TCP to allow the connections to be based with TCP. In your situation, this may be the best scenario due to the connections being load balanced.
    TCP is used by default when checking the Firewall configuration. This is why the traces showed the connection with TCP.
    Information on this can be found in the ISA help files. In the search panel of the ISA help, type in "ControlChannel" without the quotes and it will show information on this feature.
    I will re-test with TCP only setup, and see if this helps. I also have some sniffer traces I need to review to see if maybe NAT is killing me, not UDP traffic.
    I'll post back my findings next week.

  • Load balancing for SAP R3 through ITS for EP .

    Dear All
    We are using ITS bease SAP R3 iviews in EP ..The landscape is as follows
    EP --> ITS --> SAP R3 .
    We need to configure a load balancing from EP to R3. Currently the ITS is set to hit one Application server on SAP r3 . How do i configure load balancing in EP for R3 .
    Even if we use the Load Balancing Iview, it does not prompt to enter SAP R3 Application servers in the EP Load balancing iview properties.
    all it asks is the ITS server and SAP server for connectors.
    Regards
    Jayesh

    Please do the following steps to accomplish load balancing. It includes both ITS definition and system definition.
    ITS Definition:
    System definition alone will not help. Because you are using ITS to access SAP R/3. ITS uses global.srvc file to access SAP R/3 system.
    When you install ITS you have option to choose connection with SAP R/3. You have two options here.
    1) Message server with load balancing
    2) Application server.
    If you choose option 1, you will have load balancing on SAP R/3 using ITS.

  • 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
