Load balancing - what happens if a server goes down?

Hi, Just an academic question.
Assume I have 2 DA servers behind a BIG-IP load balancer, named DA1 and DA2.
If I enable Load Balancing (BIG-IP in my case), what happens to the clients already Connected to DA1 when IP-HTTPS is used?
For example:
Client1 is connected to BIG-IP, which in turn redirect this client to DA1-Server. Assume that DA1-server goes down, what happens with the client then? I assume the Client will be redirected to DA2-server by BIG-IP after some time, meaning it will have to establish
the connection from scratch. Is this correct and roughly how long does it take for the clients to connect to the DA2-Server?
Since IP-HTTPS is using it's own pool and IPv6 prefix per DA server, I assume this will happen? And the DA client1 will receive a new IPv6 address from DA2 ?
Thanks!

Hi,
It depends of the way your Big-IP is checking the servers in your pool.
The client will try to reconnect to the HTTPS interface and still be redirected to server1 until your Big-IP validate that the server1 is not responding and disable it.
And yes, you'll receive a new IPv6 address because each server in a DirectAccess NLB cluster has a specific IPv6 range for the clients.

Planning server goes down when I try to delete a member in Planning Web

Hi,
Planning server goes down when I try to delete a member in Planning Web. I am using Hyperion Planning 4 with Tomcat 4.1.30 and Windows Server 2003.

You could try increasing the java heap size, though sometimes an issue can occur if you are trying to delete a member when a workflow process has started, do you have one running?

Server Goes Down

Hi All,
I am using AS9i, Forms Server 6i, and Database 9i on a single Server Machine (Dell 2950).
I am facing a problem on my server,
Some time ifweb60 process capture the 100 % CPU. and did not release it.
and server goes down .
to recover it I have restarted the server, But its not a proper Solution.
I need help from U people to resolve the problem.
Regards,
Raza

You will need to go through your log files to find out what is happening, I guess.
Also you can use Process Lasso (http://www.bitsum.com/prolasso.shtml) to avoid your server becomes unresponsive if one process takes 100% cpu.

ACE slowness issue when one server goes down

Hi,
We are having two application servers.Both are load balanced using ACE.
When we bring down one server, we find that when we upload some files into the second application server, its too slow.
But when primary server comes up again the performance increases.This issue happens only when we bring the primary server down.
We are using cookie based stickiness.Any ideas where we can look into.
Rgds.,
Sachin

Depending on the load-balancing algorithm or predictor that you configure, the ACE performs a series of checks and calculations to determine which server can best service each client request. The ACE bases server selection on several factors including the source or destination address, cookies, URLs, HTTP headers, or the server with the fewest connections with respect to load.

Functionalities Available if Server Goes Down?

Hello! As a structural question...... I have a web server that holds my web application (includes My Sites), and an application server with CA and all of the other services.
Suppose the web server goes down. Does that mean my users no longer have access to the site, their profile, and their document libraries?
Conversely, if the application server goes down, will my users still have access to the site, but none of the services will work? (IE. Will the site still communicate with the databases to pull documents information from their documents library; I just can't
use search, etc.)?
Thank you!

Suppose the web server goes down. Does that mean my users no longer have access to the site, their profile, and their document libraries?
Correct. If the server hosting the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application Service goes down then you will lose all access to the sites.
Conversely, if the application server goes down, will my users still have access to the site, but none of the services will work? (IE. Will the site still communicate with the databases to pull documents information from their documents library;
I just can't use search, etc.)?
Thank you!
Again correct.
Depending on what exactly you've put on the App tier and on the WFE tier you may still have working sites. If there's a component that is needed to render a page such as the MMS or Excel Services that runs on the App tier then that page will throw an error
but the general document library pages and so on will probably still work for the most part.

Exchange server goes down... Export EDB into PST?

Can some body help me.....how can i import my EDB file into Outlook file format
Please help me....

Agreed please provide more details such as the version of Exchange for the EDB and also where you want the data to really end up, i.e. in PST or are you planning on injecting it back into a Production Exchange server and if so what version is the production
server
How big is the Offline EDB and how many mailboxes are within?
What happened to the Server to cause you to need to do this extraction?
Search, Recover, & Extract Mailboxes, Folders, & Email Items from Offline Exchange Mailbox and Public Folder EDB's and Live Exchange Servers or Import/Migrate direct from Offline EDB to Any Production Exchange Server, even cross version i.e. 2003 -->
2007 --> 2010 --> 2013 with Lucid8's

JMS Exception when server goes down (Urgent) ?

Hi All,
I have three topics in the JMS Server which is on the top of Web logic server 8.1.
On the client side I have Swing thick cleint.For each topic I have a listener.
When the web logic server goes down ( I shut down manually ) Only one listener is recieving the Exception and the Swing client reacts accordingly.
After this ,
Client continousoly checks whether the server is up or not. Once the server is up again the Exception is thrown that server is down ( I guess now the second listener is recieving the message).
After some time again the third listener recives the message.....
and the client reacts on that exception 3 times.
How can I get rid of this ?
thanks in advance.

Hi,
this is probably a very good question to ask support. 'Logical' deployment sequence
was added to the WebLogic only recently (6.1sp?) ('logical' means that first datasources
are deployed, then EJB's and then web-apps, deployment-order parameter was added etc).
So, for applications where shutdown sequence is important there must be a document which
describes how server shutdown works.
On the other hand, this may not be as important as deployment sequence, because running
instance can crash at any time and it should not affect anything.

Hi,
Most of my ejbs use connection from the connection pool. At the weblogic server shut
down time (heavy load), I can see the jsps call the ejb, sometime jsp can't find
the bean because it's removed from jndi. sometime jsp found the bean but when the
bean try to talk to database, ejb can't use the connection because the datasource
is removed from jndi. Also my shutdown class waits for the threads finish up, and
the threads calls the ejb and do the db operation, and the conn is cut when the db
operation is half way. So, the order of events when server shut down is important
to me. I am wondering how other people deal with it. Thanks --

Flash Media Server goes down mid-stream

So if my application is streaming a video and FMS goes down
during it... I need to be able to error handle this. I'm wondering
if FMS would return some sort of message or error upon going off
line or if there is any other manner in which I could handle this.
Ultimately I'd like to give the user a message informing them of
the problem... or possible just switch to a progressive version of
the same clip.
Any ideas?

Well... if the server goes down it can't very well respond to
it.
What you want to do is have your client side
netConnection.onStatus method repond to the change in the
connection and notify the user.

Why Portal server goes down?

Hi All,
We are currently running on EP7, SP9.
Suddenly one day our portal server went down.We checked the logs but could not find the correct information. Can any one of help me as why our server went down at that particular time.
Please reply as soon as possible.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Ramalakshmi.S

Portal server goes down for several reasons:
1) Check the portal license. If the trial license expired, it goes down every 30 mins.
2) Check your J2EE settings. If the portal cannot handle the user requests, you should increase the MaxThreadCount and other parameters.
3) Check the trace files at D:\usr\sap\<SID>\JC01\j2ee\cluster\server0\log
Hope this helps.

Server Goes Down Alert

Hello,
I am running SCOM 2012 R2 and I am trying to setup an alert to let me know when a server goes down. I tried creating a rule that monitored the Management Server's "Operations Manager" Event Log for ID 20022. I also configured
the rule that parameter #2 must have my servers name. I also tried EventDescription conatains my servers name. None of them worked. But I looked in the Event Log of my Management Server and as I looked at all of the 20022 entries, I noticed
the computer I was on was listed as not heartbeating. Two of my other servers that are currently on were listed as not heartbeating. So obviously monitoring this 20022 entry is not reliable. I do not want to setup a monitor for something
like Ping Status. I want to try to avoid using monitors because they could be taxing on the servers, my management server, and my network.

Hi
yes event id 20022 is not reliable and never go for windows event id monitor for server shutdown or unavailability on agent , as scom health service will be stopped or connection closed with MS at the time of shutdown on agent.
you need to go for ICMP port monitoring for server availability, as port monitoring run from remote server(watcher node) and can capture server unavailability and ping test.

How can a JMS Listener Notified get when a Topic Server Goes Down?

I'm in the process of looking into pub/sub model for a centeralized data source where vertical applications subscribe to a topic to get updates on person demographic information.
          I was playing with the JMS topic examples and noticed that when I have a Durable Subscriber listener (java main) and the topic Server goes down. It never gets notified. When I restart the Topic server and send msgs to the topic, the Durable Listener doesn't get them.
          Once I restart the Durable Listener (java main), it receives all the messages that were pending.
          I implemented the ExceptionListener and it never gets a shutdown msg either. I shutdown the Topic server via Ctrl-C, Graceful Shutdown and Forced Shutdown.
          Is there a way for the client listener to determine when the Topic Server went down, came backup, and restore the connection to it automatically? Or do we have to implement some type of ping mechanism on the client listener and re-create the connection ourselves?
          Thanks. Later...

          Edited by wlau1000 at 03/07/2007 8:34 AM

Hi Wayne,
          I think the exception listener should have fired. Some comments/questions:
          - Does your app call "connection.setExceptionListener" in addition to implementing ExceptionListener?
          - Which version and maintenance/service pack are you using?
          - Is the client using the wl* "thin" client jars or the "thick" client jar?
          - Version 9.2 provides an automatic reconnection capability for consumers. This behavior isn't enabled by default due to natural side effects that some apps might not be prepared to handle (needles to say, I recommend reading the doc thoroughly).

Siebel 8.1.1.5 and BIP 10.1.3.4.1 Integration - Siebel server goes down

Hi Gurus,
I followed the steps as per the Siebel Reports Guide Rev. C and I can see the BIP Screens , views and the standard template. Also if I upload any custom template to in the siebel I can view those reports in BIP SiebelCRMReports folder.
But my issue is if I click any any screens in Siebel and then the list applet or form applet and then if I click the "Reports Button" in the top menu then the Siebel server goes down or sometimes the application hangs up. I don't know exactly the error is on Siebel side or BIP side and one thing I didn't check is the Integration Objects in Siebel tools for the standard report templates.
I'm on windows environment.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Jing Jang
if you click the report menu button, I guess Siebel checks which reports are associated with this particular view. If the while OM crashes at this point, it looks as if some of the repository changes in 8.1.1.5 were not successfully applied. Did you import the provided .sif file which came with the 8115 BIP ACR?

Load balancing not happening on UDQ in weblogic 11g

Hi Team,
I have a 2 clusters with two managed servers each on different machines
Cluster A(On machine 1)
Managed server A (on machine 1)
Managed server B(on machine 2)
I have created 2 JMS servers
JMS Server A on Managed server A
JMS Server Bon Managed server B
and a JMS module on Cluster A
and JMS connection factory targeted on Cluster A and a uniform distributed queue targeted on JMS server A and JMS Server B
But load balancing is not happening only one managed server is loaded at a time.. Using weblogic 11(aka 10.2.3)
Tried disabling server affinity but it did not help ...Can any one please let me know how to fix this?

Hi,
When you say load is not balanced and reaching only one managed server.
I assume both the UDD's targets are reachable and are visible in JNDI tree ?
also , what kind of application is it - i,e is it clustered app that would be seen as consumers on each UDQ ?
take a look at the app and check if its clusterred . along with that also take a look at the number of consumers on UDQ instances.
Let me know what you find.

Load Balancing only working on one server!

Hi All,
I have configured 3 servers as follows:
Server 1 = WebCache only server (Windows 2003)
Server 2 = 10g Forms and Reports server (Solaris)
Server 3 = 10g Forms and Reports server (Solaris)
Servers 2 and 3 work perfectly using the direct addresses on the following ports
server2.domain.com:7778/formsurl?config=WEBTEST
server3.domain.com:7777/formsurl?config=WEBTEST
I have added the Origin servers, the site definitions, and the one site-to-server mapping which is as follows:
server1.domain.com:7777
--> server2.domain.com:7778/formsurl?config=WEBTEST
--> server3.domain.com:7777/formsurl?config=WEBTEST
When connecting using the WebCache server's URL I get a FRM-92101 error, cannot communicate... I am using the URL below to connect:
--> server1.domain.com:7777/formsurl?config=WEBTEST
However, if I remove one of either server2 or server3 from the site-to-server mapping (effectively meaning that WebCache is only 'load-balancing' on one server), the application loads up fine.
It is only when enabling both servers that it fails?!?!
Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be happening to cause this problem??
Many thanks,
Paul

Thanks for all the replies ;)
I have now fixed the problem...Dont ask me how because it would take too long to explain!
Thanks,
Paul

Load Balance reference to be default server in connection wizard

We have a multi server environment (3 web servers - load balanced) and database and OLAP on separate servers.
BPC 7.5 Microsoft SP6
Servers 2998 R2
I am able to use the fully qualified load balance reference successfully, however, I would prefer to always default the load balance reference and not server 1, 2 or 3 as a default value in the connection wizard for my user communiity? What is the correct changes to ServerInfo to make the load balance the defatul reference?
I have attemtped to updated the server info in 6 places on a server to reference the load Balance reference.It works, but I want to default this value for all users. Is there another reference besides the items below that need updating
1) Reporting Services instance name,
2) Reporting Services external server name
3) Application Server external server name
4) Application Server virtual server name
5) Web Server name
6) Web Server Virtual Name
Thanks for the insight

Hi William
You can remove the references to the other servers. For example AppServer2, AppServer3
Backup the Appserver database first before making any changes, in the table AppServer.dbo.tblServerInfo you can remove the entries AppServer2, AppServer3. You will need to ensure that the Virtual IP (Loadbanced FQDN) is valid for AppServer1, etc
The client reads the configuration values from multiple tables, but in the table AppServer.dbo.tblAppSetInfo it can only make reference to one value in the column. For Example: AppServer1, ReportServer1, etc
So in the end, you would only need values for AppServer1, ReportServer1, OLAPServer1, WebServer1,SQLServer1, etc
That is how you would always default to the load balanced configuration values.
Hope this helps
Kind regards
Daniel
