Load balancing the R12 two application node

Hi,
We are having 2 Application node(running all the services) with all the services running,
I wanted to any option is there to load balancing the Two application nodes without having Hardware or DNS load balancing.

Vasu,
You can configure Oracle Web Cache as a Load Balancer.

  • How do I load balance TFTP between two servers and a client on the same subnet?

    Hi,
    I have trawled through several documents and tried umpteen different configs, all to no avail. I have a PXE boot client trying to access a boot file via TFTP from a couple of TFTP servers on the same VLAN/subnet. For HA purposes I want to load balance the two TFTP servers.
    Config is currently;

    I have read the doco by Ivan Kovacevic amongst many others but as my clients and servers are on the same subnet, the config doesnt work.
    Can anybody point me in the right direction please. The devices are ACE 4710 running A3(2.3).
    Thanks

    Try using the following configuration:
    Note: Please make sure to configure also a udp probe to probe udp port 69, in case the application is down.
    You need to configure a management policy on the interface when using a UDP probe.
    That is because, when port 69 on the server will be unreachable, the server will send an ICMP unreachable.
    ACE will consider a udp probe as "failed" only when it sees ICMP unreachable.
    Without a management policy-map, the ICMP unreachable message will be dropped.
    Also, add an ICMP probe to the rserver because udp probe will not be enough when the physical interface will be down.
    That is because UDP is a connection-less protocol. To consider a UDP probe successfull, ACE need to see NO answer from the server in respose to the probe.
    The ACE will not see any answer from the server when the interface is down and thus, will consider the probe as "sucessful".
    With ICMP probe attached to the rserver, you also test the reachability of the server and not only the UDP port.
    Here is the configuration (of course, you can chage the names of the of the objects to the name you are using if you want) :
    access-list ALL line 10 extended permit ip any any
    probe udp TFTP

  • How to configure software load balancer for R12.1.3

    Dear All,
    I need to configure software load-balancer on application tiers and i need to know if its possible to have a software load-balancer in place of hardware load balancer if i need to route the load on two application nodes.
    Thanks !

    As we do not certify, nor support 3rd party loadbalancers we can not confirm that the Piranha loadbalancer will perform as expected with EBS. The basic minimum requirements or loadbalaning is that it has death detection, and session / cookie persistence We also typically require that a hardware loadbalancer is used. Internally we use F5 loadbalancers, and Cisco ACE.
    What are the limitations of a software load balancer compared to hardware ? As mentioned above, your software balancer should has the capability of "death detection, and session/cookie persistence" -- More details can be found in (Implementing Load Balancing On Oracle E-Business Suite - Documentation For Specific Load Balancer Hardware [ID 727171.1]).
    Oracle Web Cache can be used as a software load balancer (which is an Oracle product), but Oracle recommends you do not use it in production instances.
    Thanks,
    Hussein

  • Load balancing on RMI Server Application

    Hi there, I'd like to know more detail about load balancing on RMI server application, been digging the web for some time, but couldn't find much information, does anyone know any website or has the knowledge of load balancing on RMI to share? Sort like its design and implementation.
    Thanks,
    Jax

    I want performance and fault-tolerance,
    In that case, is it necessary to have a main
    rmi server to allow client to access and pick one of
    the rmi servers for the client?Well, if you have one main RMI server, you have a single point of failure again.. Why can't your application know about all rmi servers, and randomly choose one? If it's down, pick a different one.. If your applicatoin is an applet, you'll have to sign it.. Do that and put it on 2 redundant web servers. You have performance by splitting the load and you have your fault tolerance by having x identical rmi servers.
    If you're saying what I think, why would you have one main rmi server that picks a different rmi server? That's more work AND your redundancy goes byebye, ie if your main rmi server dies..

  • Load balancing Oracle Forms in Application Server

    Hi,
    We're currently planning moving from client-server forms to webforms running on Oracle Application Server (10.1.2.0.2). To meet our high availability requirements, we plan to run our forms app servers active-active. We're coming a little unstuck determining the best method of load balancing requests between these however.
    Currently the main sticking point is determining whether to go for software or hardware load balancers. One of the main things we're unsure of is how much traffic we can expect to flow through the network. In our client-server environment we typically have 900-1000 active connections during peak load and ~350 forms coming in at just over 300Mb in total.
    If you have any experience load balancing between Oracle Forms on Application Server, we'd appreciate it if you could share details of you setup and how it's performing; particularly:
    * Whether you have software/hardware load balancing
    * The number of connections this supports
    * Details of the volume of network traffic you have
    Thanks,
    Chris

    We have implemented both hardware load-balancers and Webcache as load-balancer. Depending on the situation either may be the best solution. In general we recommend to use hardware load-balancers for production systems that require high availability. However, Webcache is very reliable as well and a Webcache instance can be recovered very quickly in case of a failure (use the cloning facility to create a copy of the instance on new hardware within minutes).
    When using https for your applications we do not recommend to use WebCache as there are several issues to cope with then, one is performance (https acceleration facilities are often part of hardware load-balancers).

  • Urgent: Load balance the shared services server

    Hello Experts,
    One of my customer would like to know that is there a way to load balance the shared services server i.e., Register one essbase server with more than one Shared services server, so that if one shared services fails the other can authenticate the logins for the essbase server.
    Also, referred the following weblink for 11x, Table 3. EPM System High Availability and Load Balancing Matrix
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/epm_high_avail_11111/frameset.htm?ch01s04.html
    Do we have any docs for version 9x?
    Environment:
    Essbase 9.3.1.3.00
    OS : IBM AIX on POWER Systems (64-bit) 5.3
    Any suggestions would be of great help. Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Sonal

    I would not attempt any changes until 9.3.1 service fix #16 is released.
    Oracle is back-porting clusterware support to with service fix # 16.
    HSS 9.3.1sf 16 "active passive failover cluster with Oracle Clusterware 11g, for hss web app and openldap"
    Based on the Oracle escalated support resources I have been in touch with solutions are not supported. Please realize this is not load-balancing and is fail-over support only.
    To my knowledge there is not a "active-active" 9.3.1 Shared Services that is supported by Oracle.
    You can read more about an active-passive fail-over at: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/pdf/epm-hss-high-avail-windows-whitepaper.pdf
    They are supposed to release a 9.3.1 white paper once service fix #16 is fully released and has been client tested.

  • Load balance the SSPR Site

    Hi,
     How can I load balance my FIM SSPR servers? I'd like to run the SSPR service on separate servers to the FIM sync, FIM service and FIM portal servers.
    I've ran through the SSPR installer on a single server, but never in a load balanced setup. How do I achieve this?
    Thanks
    IT Support/Everything

    It is pretty simple.
    You install SSPR on two servers separately - make sure in IIS settings (bindings) that both are accessible on the same name, for example
    sspr.domain.com. Then you just create NLB that has two nodes - those two servers. Please remember to use session stickness just to make sure one session is served by one node only.
    If you found my post helpful, please give it a Helpful vote. If it answered your question, remember to mark it as an Answer.

  • Internal load balancer for ADFS, Web Application Proxy join problem

    Hello,
    we deployed 2 x ADFS (2012 R2) behind a internal Azure load balancer.
    In front are two WAP servers, which should be joined to the ADFS farm based on the internal load balancer IP.
    Unfortunately the WAPs fail to join and sometimes after 5 tries it works. The problem is (based on the event logs) that the ADFS Servers dont trust the WAP certificate.
    It seems, that during the join process the ADFS internal load balancer does not stick to one ADFS server. If we join the WAP directly (without the ILB) to one of the ADFS servers, everything works fine.
    As soon as we try to join via the ADFS internal load balancer IP, the abover occurs.
    Did anyone experience the same problems? How does the internal load balancer distribute the requests? Seems to be not sticky at all.
    Thanks for any Feedback,
    Thomas

    Thomas -

  • Load-balancing between Analytical Provider service nodes in a cluster

    Hi All,
    - First a little background on my architecture. My EPM environment consist of 3 Solaris servers:
    Server1: Foundation Services + APS + EAS + WLS Admin server
    Server2: Foundation Services + APS + EAS
    Server3: Essbase server + Essbase Studio server
    All above services are deployed to a single domain. We have a load-balancer sitting in front of server1 and server2 that redirects request based on availability of the services.
    - Consider APS:
    We have a APS cluster "AnalyticProviderServices" with members AnalyticProviderServices1 deployed on Server1 and AnalyticProviderServices2 deployed on Server2.
    So I connect to APS and login as user1. Say the load-balancer decides to forward my request to server1, so all my request are then managed by APS on Server1. Now if APS on server1 is brought down, then any request to APS on server1 are redirected by weblogic to APS on server2.
    Now ideally APS on server2 should say "hey I see APS on server1 is down so I will take up your session where it left off". So I expect the 2nd APS node in the cluster to tale up my session. But this does not happen.. I need to login again when I hit refresh in excel as I get the error "Invalid session.. Please login again". When I open EAS I see I have been logged in with a new session ID. So it seems that the cluster nodes simply act as load-balancers  and are not smart enough to take up a failed nodes sessions where it left off.
    Is my understanding correct or have I to configure something to allow for this to happen?
    Thanks,
    Kent

    Thanks for your reply John!
    I was hoping APS could do something like that .. I am not sure if restoring sessions of a dead APS cluster node on another APS would be helpful but I can think of one situation where a drill-through report is running for a long time on the Essbase server and APS goes down.. it would be good to have the other APS to take up the session and return the drill-through output to the user.

  • Load balancing to a stateless application

              I have a question related to load balancing to a stateless server, in a WLS cluster,
              using hardware load balancing. The BEA documentation stipulates the use of cookies
              or URL rewriting to ensure stickiness to a session. We have a rich client and
              our server is completely stateless. There is no concept of stickiness, or >1
              invocation to a server session.
              So. . . we don’t need the session ID provided by the cookie that WLS wants to
              send back to the client. Is there any way to configure WLS cluster (7 or 8) to
              not return a cookie, so that our client “thinks” each call to the server is it’s
              “first” call? Am I missing an obvious approach?
              

              Hi Vic,
              My understanding is, if your servers are totally stateless, and if the requests
              from the same user are totally independent, for example, some read-only applications,
              cluster only adds overhead to you. In such case, your servers with the hardware
              load balancers should be enough to support the scalability and availability.

  • Load Balancing b/w two cisco router

    Hello Friends,
    Please advise me,We are using two Cisco Routers with F5 Load balancer,
    Router A (Cisco 2811) has one ISP configured
    Router B (Cisco 3825) has the other ISP configured
    ISP on Router A has 5 Mbps Bandwidth
    ISP on Router B has 10 Mbps Bandwidth
    My Doubt is if the load balancer is down,how to utilize the ISP (or) How to divert the connection ?
    Here i have attached my N/w diagram for ur reference..........
    Can someone solve my question.............please
    Thank you.

    Hi Mohamed,
    With default routing in use you can just configure one default route on each router   But it would only do load sharing not load balancing.
    PFR(performance routing) is a better solution but have never tried with two diffferent router series. Also need to validate if the router series you are using supports PFR.

  • HT1923 after following the instructions to completing uninstall iTunes and related components, and I'd restarted and reinstalled iTunes, i received the error message that iTunes couldn't load because the deleted Apple Application Support wasn't present. W

    After following the instructions to completly uninstall iTunes and related components, I restarted computerand reinstalled iTunes, Then I received the error message that iTunes couldn't load because program file Apple Application Support (deleted as per instructions) wasn't present. What now?

    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • HT201210 my Iphone was working fine and then I plugged it into Itunes for the update and now it says I have to restore to orignal factory settings.  I will lose my contacts, photos and anything else I have loaded over the past two years.  REALLY?? WHY

    This is so frustrating!  I plugged my Iphone 4S into my computer to update it via Itunes and now it says I have to restore to factory settings and will lose all of my contacts, photos, and applications I have downloaded.  All I was really wanted to do was delete photos that uploaded from my home computer and took up all the space on my phone!  GRRRR I hate this

    If you are using the iphone as designed then you should lose very little or nothing.
    You should be syncing contacts with your computer regularly, so all of your contacts should be on your computer and you can sync them back.
    You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera, most especially before any attempt to update.
    You should be transferring all purchases made on your iphone to your computer: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    You can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
