Azure Load Balancer - Query for VMs in rotation or removed from rotationq

From what I can tell, there is no way to know if any of the VMs configured as part of a Load-Balanced Set has been taken out of rotation. I see a PS script to set the Azure Load Balancer Endpoint -
Set-AzureLoadBalancedEndpoint. But there is no way from what I can tell via
PS or in the Portal to notify or alert me when a VM is no longer part of the LB Set due to some issue. What is the roadmap to make this available via a PS Script, Azure Portal, or via SCOM?

Hi,
From my experience, this issue was more related with Windows Azure network, I suggest you move to that forum for a better help.

Traffic Manager versus Azure Load Balancer

Hi All,
We have an MVC5 app which we are planning to host either as an Azure Web App or Azure Web Role. The queries that we have is pertaining to load balancing of the same as follows:
1. When we spawn multiple instances of Web Apps or WebRoles, does Azure Load Balancer automatically kick in?
2. If the above case is true, then when is the need for the Traffic Manager? Is it used when instances are spanning across multiple regions?
3. Will Azure load balancer suffice my requirement if I am hosting my app only in a single region?
Regards, Saurabh

Hi Saurabh,
No, you would have to manually configure an Azure Load Balanced Set for Load Balancing purposes. You could refer this link for details on how to configure a Load Balanced Set:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/azure/dn655055.aspx
Yes, Traffic Manager allows you to control distribution of traffic to Cloud Services, Websites across different Data Centres.
If you are hosting your app within a Cloud Service, Azure Load Balancer should suffice for your requirement.
You could refer the following link for details on various load balancing methods for Azure Infrastructure Services:

Load balancing algorithm for groups in RZ12

Hello,
I would like to know the load balancing algorithm for groups defined in RZ12.
I know that log on groups for external connections are administered via SMLG and table RZLLICLASS.
I also know that RFC resources can be managed for RFC logon groups via RZ12.
Kind regards,
Peter

Hello!
Found this post while searching information about RFC and Logon Groups...
I have some mess in my head with SMLG functionality and RZ12. As I know SMLG we can use to distribute users to application server instances, it gives us good achievement in performance. With RZ12 we can distribute RFC connection of particular job for parallel execution on predefined application server. With SMQS and SMQR transaction we can set "Name of AS Group" to route RFC-execution on certain server or servers. But I have troubles with understanding. Imagine, we set up group 1 with 2 servers (name it RFC_GR1), and group 2 with another 2 servers (name it RFC_GR2). How could qRFC scheduler decide on which RFC server group (RFC_GR1 or RFC_GR2) distribute RFC-execution? How to interact "Name of AS Group" with RFC groups if we can set only one group? How could we distribute RFC-execution depending on our logon groups (smlg)? We would like to distribute RFC depending on SAP logon groups. Is it possible? Or do I compare apple and orange?

LOAD BALANCE BEHAVIOR FOR 7600 ON ETHERCHANNELS

Hi Everyone,
Currently I'm planning to implement ether-channels on 7600 routers, but there's something that's still not clear to me, regarding the load balancing behavior, for L2VPN and L3VPN.
I've read that 7600 in MPLS default load balance behavior is to take the SIP and DIP if present and the bottom of the stack label or the 5th label depending upon the number of labels on the stack. In l2VPN scenarios when ether-channel is used, if no IP traffic is present what is the default behavior of the etherchannel to calculate the load balancing hash function to select a given link on the bundle.
I'll appreciate any feedback regarding this.

Hi Louis, you could set default routes on the ASA's with tracking, and use ospf downstream to inject the default route in to the network with default information originate - this will only advertise out a default route if it has it in the routing table. With SLA you can track internet reachability by IP SLA echo to something like 8.8.8.8. Both sides can advertise this in to the network, if one goes then there is one left. Just be mindful of the policies and NAT required, you will have to duplicate the rules on the ASA's. With the NAT you have to ensure, that outgoing traffic comes back in the same path it left so it doesn't break connections.

Load balancing plugin for Sun WS 6.1

Where can I find details about the load balancing plugin for Sun Java Web Server 6.1?
Can I work around that by using the reverse proxy plugin and configure to work as a Load balancer?
thx
Anand

Details about using the reverse proxy plugin can be found here:
http://docs.sun.com/source/819-0902/rpp61.html
The reverse proxy plugin can be used for load balancing. Use the service-passthrough Service SAF for this purpose. You are particularly interested in the "servers" parameter
"servers - A quoted, space-delimited list of the servers that receive the forwarded requests. Individual server names may optionally be prefixed with http:// or https:// to indicate the protocol and/or suffixed with a colon and integer to indicate the port."

Getting letters for items that have been removed from my credit report

I have gotten several credit cards in the past month as I have been working on rebuilding my credit. Over the past few weeks I have been receiving letters from collection agencies for items that have been removed from my credit report. Has anyone else had this issue? Should I just throw this stuff away since it's not longer being reported on my credit report and the collections are so old they've been removed from the report? I am freaking out a bit. Any advice is welcome.

They were removed because they are over 8 years old.They can still try to collect, they just cannot place it on your reports. If its also beyond SOL in your state, you have to option to sent them a Cease Communications letter, charmingly refferred to as a FOAD letter. (Google it to find the meaning of that acronym).They will just sell it to another JDB, who may send you another collection notice. Keep all correspondence regarding this debt in order to keep track of it. You also have the option to settle it for a small percentage - I would suggest offering no more than 5-10% of the original amount (not some inflated "new balance"), and in your offer letter refer to it as "old, time barred debt, that is not a current financial obligation" but that you are willing to settle only to close out the account.

CCMS Alerts keep coming for the system which was removed from System Monito

Hello SOLMAN Experts,
Iu2019ve noticed quite strange behavior of my SOLMAN CCMS Alerts: CCMS Alerts keep coming for the system which was removed from the System Monitoring.
Have you ever experienced this?
Please advice
Thank you
123

Hi 123,
Please ensure that autoreaction methods are deleted for those systems.
You can verify system to autoreaction method assigments via RZ21 --> Technical Infrastructure --> Configure Central system -->Assign Central Autoreaction
also check if that system is appearing as online as follows
RZ21-> Topology --> system overview --> Monitored and Remote SAP systems
if yes , make it offline to stop triggering alerts.
I hope this information will help you.
Thanks,

Using Azure internal load balancer (ILB) for Sql Reporting Services

I am attempting to implement a scale-out SSRS deployment using the Azure ILB feature. I have created 2 Sql Reporting servers using the azure images and have created a ILB endpoint on both servers. I am then attempting to access the servers via the
ILB from my .Net web application. I can access the report server from my browser and am prompted for credentials using forms authentication. there is no issue accessing the reports from a browser however my web application cannot access the reports
and returns a 500 error. I have a hunch this is due to an authentication issue due to invalid kerberos proxy authentication.
Does anyone have any information regarding the possible authentication mechanisms that are supported using Azure ILB?

Thanks for the response Swallow0417, but as I stated I already had configured this to work in a browser. I should have mentioned that I already had set the machine key and altered the rsreportserver.config file as mentioned in
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc281307.aspx.
It turns out this was due to the extended data validation that was introduced in SQL 2014.
This page led me to alter rsreportserver.config so that:
<RSWindowsExtendedProtectionLevel>Off</RSWindowsExtendedProtectionLevel>
<RSWindowsExtendedProtectionScenario>Any</RSWindowsExtendedProtectionScenario>
After restarting the report server service my application now can make the requests for the reports successfully. I'll provide the other steps I took to hopefully help someone else in the future:
1. Create 2 or more SQL servers in an Azure availability group on the same service in a Reports server scale out deployment. The SSRS Service account must be a domain account or it will not work
2. Create an Azure ILB using powershell and add the endpoints on your http(s) ports on the server in step 1. I also set the endpoint IdleTimeoutInMinutes to 30 on both endpoints as it seemed like there was some possible timeout issues. the endpoint MUST
also have DirectServerReturn Set to $true
3. disable the loopbackcheck see method 2 here
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896861
create a DWORD registry key value 1,
DisableLoopbackCheck,
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
4. Configure View state validation by setting an identical machine key on all servers behind the azure ILB
5. Create a Host record in your AD DNS for the Azure ILB IP Address.
6. configure hostname
and URLRoot in rsreportserver.config - see
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc281307.aspx
Setting the hostname tag breaks the report manager url. It is only
required to set the URLRoot tag. I do not think it is required in this configurtaion only for Windows
NLB
6. Configure the authentication method in rsreportserver.conig
<RSWindowsExtendedProtectionLevel>Off</RSWindowsExtendedProtectionLevel>
<RSWindowsExtendedProtectionScenario>Any</RSWindowsExtendedProtectionScenario>

BEx Load Balancing Query

Hi,
We are at Bi 7.00/AIX/Oracle.
How can we load balance the query running via BEx. Most of the time it is going to CI, which is message server and not part of logon group. Our Web Queries are running fine because we have put a Logon Group in SICF for a required service.
How can I resolve the BEx issue.
Please let me know if it is possible.
Thank you.
Sume

If you log on to BEx Analyzer and connect to a system you select an entry from the SAP Logon pad just as if you connect to a system with SAP GUI. In the system entry in the SAP Logon pad you can specify a logon group. This logon group is then also used in BEx Analyzer. Probably your system points to the CI without logon group.

Load Balancing 11i for both 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 .

ACE Load Balancing Configuration For NATed User Traffic

Hello,
I am currently working on a requirement where the shared application services will be hosted in DC and these services will be accessed by multiple (thousands) users from different corporates/customers. The user traffic will be hidden behind customer's proxy servers or firewalls so the load balancer (ACE modules) services hosted in DC will not be able to see requests coming in from induvidual users IP addresses.
In this scenario what are options of load balancing are available in Lyer3/4 and Layer7 ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Sanjay

Hi Sanjay,
In a set up where all users are coming from behind a proxy, all users will be loadbalanced to same server thus overloading it. This is when you are doing standard L3/L4 LB.
In the situation of proxies, for HTTP applications you shall use L7 LB and use information(cookie) in HTTP client request or server response. The ace will use this information to stick the user to same server for persistence. If a client comes with no cookie it will be loadbalanced according to the predictor method configured. Below is the link for L7 configuration example and other TS steps you can take while configuring L7 policies on ACE. For more informatin i would suggest reading ACE user guide too.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Problem Load Balancing connections for Grid Control Console on port 80!

I have two OMS and I'm balancing connections for Grid Control Console using a Software Load Balancer according with "Oracle Enterprise Manager Advanced Configuration". I have success where the load balancer is listening on port different to 80. When I configure Load Balancer to listen on port 80(architecture requirement) and distribute load between the two OMS(Port 7779), when login to Enterprise Manager Console the URL on the web browser changes to the port configured for HTTP server (port 7780) wich produces an "unable to connect" error message; and this behaviour also happends in some of the internal links of Grid Control Console too. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Load Balancing Rules for BIGIP

I am running single-user applications that fall into two
categories:
1.) recording and uploading audio
2.) streaming audio and video over rtmp, rtmpt, and rtmps
The files being streamed are on a NAS.
Is anyone using a hardware load balancer in conjunction with
FMS? Is it possible to do SSL offloading for rtmps? Would anyone be
willing to share your pools, iRules, and other configuration data?
Thanks!
