Load balancing BSSV multiple instances - what is your experience?

Hi,
we encountered an issue: we have three weblogic instances running BSSV Server instances for our JDE. THE BSSV instances are being communicated by SOA mostly and we would like to load balance the traffic between those three bssv servers. The problem is we need to use a certificate in order to load balance https.
The question is: has anyone of you performed such or similar operation before? What approach would you advise/recommend based on your experience? We will not use weblogic/webcache load balancing.
Thanks.

I haven't found a specific JDE forum to have this question addressed by JDE. So, I will try to help from Weblogic Server perspective.
Is JDE installed in a SOA weblogic server environment?
If so you can follow SOA EDG which covers load balancing.

Load balancing across multiple machines

I am looking for assistance in configuring Tuxedo to perform load balancing across
multiple machines. I have successfully performed load balancing for a service
across different servers hosted on one machine but not to another server that's
hosted on a different machine.
Any assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Hello, Christina.
Load balancing with multiple machines is a little bit different than
in the same machine. One of the important resource in this kind
of application is network bandwidth, so tuxedo tries to keep the
traffic among the machines as low as possible. So, it only
balance the load (call services in other machine) in case all the
services are busy in the machine where they are call.
I mean, if you have workstation clients attached only to one
machine, then tuxedo will call services in this machine untill
all servers are busy.
If you want load balancing, try to put one WSL in each machine,
and the corresponding configuration in your WSC ( with the | to
make tuxedo randomly choose one or the other) or spread your
native clients among all the machines.
And so, be carefull with the routing!

Load balancing over multiple E3s

Hi all,
For the same VP , can I make load balancing over multiple E3s connected bet the BPX 8600 and MGX 8850.
Asking the question in another way:
Is there a possibility for load balancing over multiple LSPs (multiple E3 interfaces) in Cell-Mode MPLS...and if possible,plz provide me with any good links for configuration.

Thinking about getting a new iMac to use as the main computer. Has anyone done this? What is your experience and recommendations?

We have a 2009 MBP, 2010 MBP, 2011 MBA, an IPAD 2, and several ipods. Currently, my 2009 MBP is the main computer, holding all the music and pictures. This has used up the majority of the available storage and definitely slows it down some. I do back up the full computer to a backup drive and also remove the large movie files to another external drive. I'm thinking about getting a new iMac to use as the main computer. Has anyone done this? What is your experience and recommendations?
I look forward to all responses.
Thanks,
Brad

Thanks for your response. I look forward to hopefully learning something new here.
A good share of my music was added via my CDs, but now everything is added via itunes and occasionally amazon. Almost all my pictures and video are added through my cameras via iphoto although I have added some with the 'add image to iphoto library' function also.

7.10 installation server, load balancing and multiple installation servers

Hi
In the 7.10 GUI installation server, there is no Load balancing option anamore, also there seems to be no option to easily clone the installation server from within the nwsapsetupadmin.exe program.
If having MANY users at one location, and needing more than one installation server to accomodate the frontend installations, do you need to do this "manually" now ? grouping users and and the logon script directing different user groups to different sapgui installation servers ?
what about creating multiple installation servers easily, is it possible to simply copy the installation server directory (c:\sapinst f.ex.) to another file server, share the directory and configure the DS and IS services (if needed) ??
will configured packages and "on end install" scripts and such be copied too to the new installation server ?
I need to easily create installation servers in 15 countries, this is the reason for my question...

Hi Kim Sonny,
hope you're doing fine
Regarding your question:
The "Load Balancing" was more a fail-over service and wasn't intended to use for several locations like in your case.
So the easiest way to do this is to setup one installation server and copy the files to the other servers. On the new Installation servers you only have to setup the service again and that's it.
Cheers,
Martin

Health check for load balancing ALSB/OSB instances

What is the standard practice for a load balancer sitting in front of ALSB/OSB instances as far as a health check? I'm working with our IS department to implement a valid health check. Currently the load balancer (older model cisco device) is just checking for an active port which is generating excessive logging on the ALSB side. As a workaround I'm just going to have the loadbalancer check for a http 200 response and a greater than zero body size.
thanks in advance...

it depends on the type of load balancer what it can do. I suggest create a 'empty' proxy service that does not have logging or auditing. Publish the prox and use this webservice in your load balancer to check if the service is available.

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.

Load balancing across multiple application servers not working with JCo RFC

We have a problem where inbound messages to the Mapping Runtime engine (ABAP -> J2EE) are not load balanced over application servers. However, load balancing does take place across server nodes within one application server.
Our system comprises of the following:
Central Instance (2 X server nodes)
Database Instance
2 X Dialog Instances (with 2 X server nodes each)
The 1st application server that starts is usually the one that is used for inbound messaging.
We have looked at the sap gateway configuration and have tried various options without much luck:
i.e.: local gateways vs. one central gateway, load balancing type by changing parameter gw/reg_lb_level, see: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/bb/9f12f24b9b11d189750000e8322d00/frameset.htm

SA520 load balancing for multiple IPSec connections

Hello,
I just would like to ask whether the following is possible or what other people think might be the best way to go.
Let me describe the current setup:
Our company has a main office which is connected to the internet through an SA520W appliance, and two satellite offices which have other IPSec routers installed. The SA520W is currently only connected through the main WAN interface to a DSL line (DSL 16000). The tunnels are established and it all works quite well.
However, we have experienced lags and slow connections when someone transfers a larger file from the main office to the outside (either satellite office or, say, some FTP server on the internet). This is of course due to the limited upload capacity of the DSL line. Therefore, I am thinking about getting another DSL line for use as the optional WAN port of the SA520W.
My question is: Is it possible to establish two IPSec tunnels from a satellite office to the main office, one to the main WAN port and one to the optional WAN port of the SA520W? The two main hurdles I see with that is that a) the SA520W can only bind IPSec to one port and b) the network mask of each IPSec phase 2 needs to identify the subnet uniquely. Am I correct with the assumption that this cannot be done?
If so, the only way I can see right now is to bind all IPsec traffic to the optional port and have at least main office <-> internet traffic separated from all IPSec traffic. Or has anyone a better solution to this?
Thanks in advance,
Roland

I honestly don't recall any issues with the load balancing. I've personally never seen an issue, opened a case for one or observed a problem in my lab using multiple T1 lines...
That's not to say there could be a problem. But as far as I know this aspect of the router is solid.
The only thing I strongly dislike about most modern DSL deployments, the ISP like to give out "residential" or "business" gateways. These things just make life terrible since it is a router/nat device.

Load balancing over multiple NIC cards

Is it possible to setup some kind of load balancing at the OS level on a V240 running Solaris 8?
I've got all 4 NIC cards populated (2 each on different subnets with clients coming from both subnets and elsewhere) and I've like to setup some load balancing at the operating system to (dynamically) route the load across the most appropriate interface. Is this possible? I feel I should be getting more bang for my buck here, but I just cant find any info on what I'd like to do.
Thanks for the help.

You can use IPMP in order to have load balancing for the outbound traffic. It's working fine, i have used it on many machines.
Now, if you want to trunk the throughput of your interfaces (for inbound and outbound traffic), you need to acquire sun trunking software. It can truncate up to 8 100Mbps interfaces, or up to 2 1Gbps interfaces.

Windows Load Balancing on Multiple VLAN?

Hi all. Just wondering if any of you having this same issue as I did. I've got NLB configured on 2 VM running on Hyper-V. Each of the VM equiped with 2 NIC. The NIC for heart beat purpose is configured
with Static MAC and with the option "Enable Spoofing for MAC Address" enabled. Another NIC is for LAN communication purose. Each of the NIC is reside on a different VLAN (VLANx and VLANy). After I've got the NLB configured,
with "unicast" mode. I've noticed I am not able to ping the NLB virtual IP address from any of the clients. Ping works between the NLB hosts, and is accessible. Once I've put all the NIC into the same VLAN, NLB works
fine; I can ping the NLB virtual IP, and test on IIS works good. My question, does NLB requires all the host to reside in the same VLAN? If NLB support mulitple VLAN, then how can I configure it to support multiple VLAN (eg: production LAN
NIC on VLANx, and heart beat NIC on VLANy)? Thank you.

Hi,
It seems that we need to use Multicast mode.

Load balancing with multiple clusters (HTTPProxyServlet)

          Hello!
          I'm newbie in Weblogic. I would like to have clustering and load balancing in
          development environment. I've created 2 clusters, with one managed server each.
          I've created a web application for deploying the http proxy servlet and put it
          under another managed server without clustering. Below is my configuration:
          managed server without cluster (as proxy) - Port 8002
          admin server - Port 8001
          cluster_1 - multicast address 237.0.0.11, multicast port 8004, cluster address
          - t3://localhost:8006, t3://localhost:8007
          cluster_2 - multicast address 237.0.0.10, multicast port 8014, cluster address
          - t3://localhost:8006, t3://localhost:8007
          managed_cluster1 - under cluster_1, port 8006
          managed_cluster2 - under cluster_2, port 8007
          in the web.xml of the proxy, i put the following parameters:
          <param-name>WebLogicCluster</param-name>
          <param-value>localhost:8006|localhost:8007</param-value>
          However, when i send the requests to http://localhost:8002/sms, the requests always
          go to the same server, for eg: managed_cluster2?
          If i configure using single cluster, the load balancing will be in proper. What's
          the cause fo the problem? and any solution?
          Thanx in advance.
          Regards,
          joey


You have 2 options here Jordi, either you can use BGP loadbalancing, this requires multipath as BGP by default would only install one route from the BGP table to the RIB hence FIB.
But this may result in excessive IRL (inter rack link) usage in the cluster when traffic coming in on rack0 wants to take the bGP path out on rack1
You could also use ABF (access-list based forwarding) to forcelly push traffic received on rack0 out on the link on rack0 and use an ipsla tracker to fallback to rack1 in case the uplink is gone.
Alternatively to extend this by IGP signaling to redirect traffic preferably to rack1 to start with to minimize the IRL usage.
And then you also have the ability to use RPL in the uplink path to make one link more preferred on teh internet then the other in case you want to control a bit which link is preferably used on rack0 or rack1

Round robin DNS for load balancing between multiple network adapters (Xserve)

I'm attempting to use 'round robin' DNS to load balance between the two ethernet adapters of an Xserve.
Both ethernet adapters are connected to the same LAN and have static IP addresses of 192.168.2.250 and 192.168.2.251.
The DNS zone for the server's local domain/host (macserver.private) has a machine record with both IP addresses (set up in the Lion Server UI).
Having read up on round robin DNS, I would have expected DNS requests for 'macserver.private' to be answered with the two IP addresses ordered at random, achiving my aim of requests being served at random via each ethernet adapter.
However this doesn't seem to be the case. Doing a 'nslookup' from any of the network clients results in the two IP addresses being listed in the same order everytime. And pinging 'macserver.private' only ever results in a response from the same address.
Does anyone know why this is the case? Does Lion Server use a non-standard DNS configuration? Are there any additional settings I need to configure in Lion's DNS server to make adopt a round robin approach to responding to requests?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Be careful what you wish for
Round Robin DNS is rarely the best option for 'load balancing'. At the very least it's subject to caching at various point on the network - even at the client side, once the client looks up the address it will cache that response - this means that subsequent lookups may be served from the client's cache and not refer back to the server. Therfore any given client will always see the same address until the cache expires.
I suspect this is what you're seeing.
You can minimize this by setting a lower TTL on the records. This should result in the response being cached for a shorter period, meaning the client will make more requests to the server, with a higher change of using the 'other' address.
However, you're also going to run into issues with the server having two interfaces/addresses in the same LAN. This isn't recommended.
As Jonathon mentioned, you may be better off just bonding the two interfaces. This will provide an automatic level of dynamic load balancing without the latency of DNS caches, as well as automatic failover should one link fail (as opposed to round robin DNS which will cause 50% of requests to fail until the client cache expires and a new lookup is performed (and, even then, there's still a chance the client will try to use the failed link).

Load balancing to multiple anchor controllers

Checking to see if there is a way to control how the inside controller load balances to 2 anchor controllers. I was told its connection by connection, but wasn't sure if its true, and if that could be changes to a particular hash or something.
Thanks,
Jason

There is no configuration to define what will be the primary or secondary path. The foreign WLC will determine which anchor it will send the traffic to.

Load balancing across multiple paths to Internet

Hello,
I have a 2821 router. Currently, I have two bonded T-1 circuits to the Internet.
I would like to add a DSL circuit to augment the T1s. I would also like to load balance across all of the circuits. Currently, IOS performs inherent load balancing for the T1 circuits. The DSL circuit is from a different provider than the T1s.
The T1s are coming from a local ISP that runs no routing protocols within their infrastructure. (They run static routes and rely on the upstream provider for BGP.) The DSL provider is a national telecom carrier.
What is the best way to perform load balancing for this scenario?

Here is the answer (sort of) for anyone reading this post with the same question:
No matter which way I choose to do it, the trick is to have the local ISP subnet advertised via BGP through both pipes. The national telecom DSL provider will not advertise a /20 subnet down a DSL pipe. (Ahh, why not? =:)
Had the secondary pipe been a T-1,T-3, or other traditional pipe, I could have used a load balancer like a BigIP, or FatPipe device or possibly CEF within the IOS.
Case closed. Thanks to everyone that took a look.
Doug.
