RDS 2008 R2 / Load Balancing, My 1st Setup. Help.

I currently have a 2008 R2 RDS server setup with around 100 people accessing, unfortunately we're starting to see 100% CPU spikes which are lasting for long periods of time making the whole RD experience painful for the end users. I've pinpointed the
extra CPU usage to a specific program developed internally making changes to this program is not an option.
My solution is to introduce a 2nd RDS server and load balance the users between them. My original thought was to setup a Session Broker (VM) to handle the initial connection and then that would load balance between the two physical servers.
Reading a bit more into it this is not looking like the way to go. My best route would be to setup NLB on the two Sessions Hosts as the front end which are then connected to the Session Broker (VM). This way after the initial connection the Sessions
Hosts should check with the Session Broker for existing connections before deciding which physical server the end users end up on.
Am I at least heading in the right direction with this setup or should I do it another way? I also need to setup Web Access , can this be loaded on the Session Broker or do I need to do it on the physical Session Hosts and mirror the setup between
the two? And the same for the RD Gateway or can I do this on the Session Broker as well?
Thanks for any advice given.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
As you have commented that you are planning to load balance the RDSH server with RDCB, you can do the required steps for your environment. For this you need to check the following steps.
- Install the RD Connection Broker role service on the server that you want to use to track user sessions for a farm.
- Add the RD Session Host servers in the farm to the Session Broker Computers local group on the RD Connection Broker server.
- Configure the RD Session Host servers in the farm to join a farm in RD Connection Broker, and to participate in RD Connection Broker Load Balancing.
- Configure DNS round robin entries for RD Session Host servers in the farm.

Bind Load balancing problem..expert help required

Hi there.
My RV042 has 2 WAN connections. One is connected to a Public Internet (WAN1) and the DMZ/Internet to my VPN router (WAN2)
Behind the VPN router connected t my WAN2 is the finance servers at network 10.36.88.0
Both users local and those who connects using PPTP VPN clients can access resources in the LAN
My problem is that due the round robin of load balancing sometimes they cannot reach the finance server
I tried playing bind the HTTP port and creating some rules with no luck
We want our users to use the WAN1 for all the web pages except those behind the VPN
Is there a way i can make that if my users access my finance server they go trough the WAN2?
Could you please provide me some guidance? (Rules, binds. etc)
in thi case woul be
An access rule or bind that all the WEB traffic for 10.36.88.0 flows to WAN2.

If you type "show real" you will probably see the column for "Data In" rising. This column is all the way on the right side of the display. This indicates that the server has received requests that it has not responded to.
By default, the LD does not use the Data value to fail a server. So by default, the data threshold for all the real servers is "0". If you set it to a non-zero number, the LD will start to use it.

Load Balancing Microsoft RDS server

Hi there, we have two servers hosting remote desktop service roles, is there any way to setup load balancing on these two?
Say setup a pointer "xxx.rdsfarm.com"? The pointer points to two servers with round robin? We have third party LB doing load-balance work for Citrix Xenapp.
Thanks

Hi Ying,
Thank you for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
Can you please let me know the OS Version of RDS Server?
Yeah, you can load balance the two RDS Server and can combine with RDCB server for setting up RDS load balancing environment. Please check below article for information.
1. Remote Desktop Server farms explained (Part 1)
2. 2012 R2 Load-Balanced RDS farm
To load balance sessions in an RD Session Host server farm, you can use the RD Connection Broker Load Balancing feature together with Domain Name System (DNS) round robin. To configure DNS, you must create a DNS host resource record for each RD Session Host
server in the farm that maps the RD Session Host server’s IP address to the RD Session Host server farm name in DNS.

Access Manager 6 2005Q1 naming service behind load balancer

Access Manager is running on box A & box B using the Sun Web Server as its front end web server. Box A & B both have a complete install of Sun Web Server, Access Manager, and Directory Server. The Directory servers are set up to replicate changes between each other. Our Policy Agents are running on box C & box D under the Apache web servers.
Users will access applications on box C/D via https. The policy agents on box C/D should redirect the user to box A/B (via a load balancer VIP)for authentication. The redirect will be https. Once authenticated the user should be redirected back to box C/D.
All subsequent communications between the Agents on box C/D to AM on box A/B (via load balancer VIP) are http.
The load balancer VIP is setup in active/failover mode so all requests go to one server. We implemented it this way because our load balancers do not support SSL with cookies.
The data returned to the agent from a call to the naming service contains the host name of our AM hosts instead of the load balancer VIP. Subsequent calls from the agent to AM bypass the load balancer and go directly to one of the AM hosts.
We are looking to upgrade our load balancers to a version that supports cookies with ssl in order to take advantage of the second AM host.
How do we configure AM so the values returned by the naming service contain the load balancer VIP instead of the actual AM host names?

Bernhard,
We have upgraded our Web PA to version 2.1-09. One of your previous replies stated the com.iplanet.am.naming.ignoreNamingservice property was not availalbe in the PA agent properties but only in the Java SKD. Indeed we do not see such a key in the new Web PA AMAgent.properties.
Can you please explain how to configure the AMAgent.properties and/or the Access Manager server (or properties) so that subsequent calls to the services (returned by the call to the naming service) get directed thru the load balancer? Below are the setting in our AMAgent and AMConfig properties files
AMAgent.properties
com.sun.am.namingURL = https://lb-mydomain.com:443/amserver/namingservice
com.sun.am.policy.am.loginURL = https://lb-mydomain.com:443/amserver/UI/Login
AMConfig.properties
com.iplanet.am.server.protocol=https
com.iplanet.am.server.host=am.mydomain.com
com.iplanet.am.server.port=443
com.iplanet.am.console.protocol=https
com.iplanet.am.console.host=lb-mydomain.com
com.iplanet.am.console.port=443
com.iplanet.am.profile.host=lb-mydomain.com
com.iplanet.am.profile.port=443
com.iplanet.am.naming.url=https://lb-mydomain.com:443/amserver/namingservice
com.iplanet.am.notification.url=https://lb-mydomain.com:443/amserver/notifica
tionservice
If we set com.iplanet.am.server.host=lb-mydomain.com we get an exception when trying to start the AM web container. I don't know if this may be partof our issue or not. Please comment.
Thanks,

DNS load balancing for Enterprise serevrs

Hi All
In my test Lync 2010 Enterprise environments, recently i have implemented the DNS load balancing with webservices
My environment is two lync 2010 ent servers , 1 SQL server, 1 Monitoring + Archive server (Same Box)
The below steps was performed from me for DNS load balancing.
PLEASE NOTE: NO HARDWARE LOAD BALANCING IN MY SETUP
Create a Host record for the Pool name with respective front end servers
Pool name : Pool2.doitnow.com with 2 lync 2010 enterprise servers named lyncfe01n.doitnow.com (192.168.1.5) and lyncfe02.doitnow.com (192.168.1.6)
Two host A records in DNS as POOl2 with IP of 192.168.15 and 192.168.1.6
1. From the Lync Server 2010 program group, open Topology Builder.
2. From the console tree, expand the Enterprise Edition Front End pools node.
3. Right-click the pool, click Edit Properties, and then click
Web Services.
4. Below Internal web services, select the Override FQDN check box.
5. Type the pool FQDN that resolves to the physical IP addresses of the servers in the pool. in
(my case it is Pool2.doitnow.com )
6. Below External web services, type the external pool FQDN that resolves to the virtual IP addresses of the pool, and then click
OK. ((my case it is Pool2.doitnow.com ) - is that REQUIRED ?
7. From the console tree, select Lync Server 2010 , and then in the
Actions pane, click Publish Topology.
IS THERE ANY THING TO BE DONE APART fROM ABOVE POINTS
Now
what i did is. in lyncfe01n.doitnow.com - i have disabled the network card and try to login lync 2010 client , but not succeesfull
my assumption is, it should work via lyncfe02.doitnow.com, since load balanace in DNS is in already in place
do i need to open / firewall rule to be creany port in second lync server
here is the below seqeunce of event viwer from lync

Thanks Andrew.
may be i missed to create SRV records for the second FE server - Let me check this point and come back -- is it mandatory to create the SRV records for second FE server?
Are the clients using "Automatic Configuration"? Yes.
so web service need a hardware load balancer right?

Load Balance Configuration for OCS 10g

Hi guys,
A few question on the load balancer requirement and setup for a OCS 10g cluster.
1. Can Pound be used as the load balancer for the OCS cluster. (pound is an application for load balancer and reverse proxy).
2. Basically the load balancer will have two network interface, the first nic is connected to the
user network, and the second interface is connected at the backend network where the ocs cluster is located. My question is at which network interface the virtual server name (ldap, sso and http ) for the ocs cluster should be created ? at the user network interface or the ocs network interface ?. Do the virtual name need an ip addresses ?
Thanks for any info.

Prevent Load Balancing in a Remote Desktop Services Deployment

We need to prevent two Remote Desktop Session Hosts from load balancing between each other. Currently they are load balanced and users dont have a means of ensuring they end up on a particular server. Is there anyway that we can accomplish this?

JSF and load balancing issues

Hello,
We are having a difficult time getting our app to work correctly on our load balanced system. Any help / suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
We have a very basic load balancer which is in round robin mode (this cannot be changed), two separate vms, each with an instance of apache(2.0.54) and tomcat(6.0.14). Each apache talks only to the tomcat on the same vm and the tomcats are configured to session replicate with each other (which is happening).
When I log in to the app and start pressing a few buttons there are no problems for a little while. I then leave the screen idle for 1 minute and resume pressing buttons. The main session bean which holds information about where the user is and other key information, gets its constructor called and is set back to default and the page goes back to the main menu. Immediately before the bean is reset, the logs show the following:
[MyApp] 17 Jun 2009 15:33:27,514 WARN: [ajp-8009-2 LoggerListener.onApplicationEvent(60)] : Authentication event AuthenticationSuccessEvent: v; details: (etc etc removed…)This is what the two logs look like:
VM1 - Authentication event
VM2 - Main menu
VM2 - Presss a button – progress a screen
VM2 - Presss a button – progress a screen
VM2 - Presss a button – progress a screen
VM2 - Presss a button – progress a screen
[wait 1 min]
VM1 - Authentication event
VM1 - Bean reset
Processing continues, but screen is redirected to main menu
We have the distributable tag in the web.xml file and javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD is set to client. Its set to client as the app will not work at all with it set to server (keeps asking for the user to re-log in).
Thank you,
Victoria

Looks like a Tomcat issue to me. JSF is not going to timeout in 1 minute. You might want to check your Tomcat replication settings. Note try to do a very simple loadbalancing application that just echos the Tomcat is executing on.

Load Balancing and Clustering

How can I connect to my cluster rather than a single
server in the cluster? I have 3 instances of WLS running on the same machine, and I can connect to these three servers separately (the login.jsp page). However, when I shutdown one of them, the page cannot be displayed, which means that I was connected to the server and not the cluster.
To understand it better following is the configuration details which i am having:
1. Admin Server running on 7001 port.
2. Three server instances(Trade1,Trade2,Trade3) are running on TradeCluster having same ip address (127.0.0.1) and different port number 8001,8011,8021 respectively.
3. Trade application can be accesses via (127.0.0.1:8001 or 127.0.0.1:8011 or 127.0.0.1:8021) separately.
If server Trade1 is getting down in that case 127.0.0.1:8001 is showing "page can not be displayed". I tried to use "HttpClusterServlet" for load balancing but it was not working. How i can access application through ome common URL and how can a configure load balancing.
Can anybody help me find out what I might have missed.
TIA

Hi,
we need to specify the cluster information in web.xml like
<web-app>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>HttpClusterServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>
weblogic.servlet.proxy.HttpClusterServlet
</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>WebLogicCluster</param-name>
<param-value>
hostname1:7736|hostname2:7736|hostname:7736
</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>HttpClusterServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>HttpClusterServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>HttpClusterServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.htm</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>HttpClusterServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.html</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
and deploy the application target to cluster

Load balancing not happending but fail over is for Read only Entity beans

          The following are the configuration.
          Two NT servers with WL5.1 sp9 having only EJBs(Read only entity beans)
          One Client with WL5.1 sp9 having servlet/java application as
          EJB client.
          I am trying to make a call like findbyprimarykey in one of the
          entity bean. I could see the request is being directed only to the one of the
          server always. When I bring that server, fail over is happening to the other server.
          Here are the settings I have in the ejb-jar.xml :
                    <entity>
                         <ejb-name>device.StartHome</ejb-name>

Weblogic 11g load balancing configeration

how can configure load balancing in weblogic 11 server

Load balancing has to be done from the outside with an external load balancer, could be a Hardware or Software (such as webcache in OAS 10.1.2 ), WebLogic could do a Clustering service where several machines could host failed processes from died machine, but they nead a external Load balancer.
Hope it helps.

Cluster/load balance weblogic using L4 switch like Alteon

Can I install weblogic as a standalone server on 2 or more server and
          cluster/load balance weblogic using a hardware balancer like Alteon Layer4
          switch (of course I will use a centralised storage to maintain a single copy
          of data which will eliminate syncronizing problem among servers)?
          BTW, Alteon can support persistent binding. The reason to use a Layer 4
          switch is that it is very fast, and this will make the application server
          layer transparent to client, the client can think this is a single server
          (it don't need to know whether there are 5 weblogic servers or 20 weblogic
          servers behind switch), and hardware are more reliable, sacalable and fast.
          I am not sure whether the normal weblogic clustered servers need to
          share/exchange info on the running memory, if it does, this approach will
          fail.


So My understanding is:
          Alteon with WL 6.0 can do load balancing for:
          entity bean
          stateless session bean
          but can't do load balancing for:
          stateful session bean (will persistent/sticky binding solve part of the
          problem except fail-over)
          in-memory replication
          am I right?

2012 R2 Load-Balanced RDS farm

Hi,
I am basically looking for this information for 2008 R2, but for 2012 R2:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753891.aspx
Thanks.

Hi,
For Windows Server 2012, firstly, you need to add multiple RD sessions host servers in a remote desktop collections. If you do not configure HA for RDCB, you can refer to the following.
And, you can configure load balancing settings in the collection properties.
Then, use the collection name to create a Host record in your DNS server and point it to the RDCB server.
After that, please use the CollectionName.domain.com as the connection name for the remote desktop clients.
Also, you can refer to Create a RDSH FARM RDS 2012 using DNS Round Robin

Exposing a webservice on ECC 5.0 in a load balancing setup

Hi
We have a webservice exposed on ECC 5.0 that is being invoked by an external system. When we move this webservice to our production environment - which is load balanced and has a logon group setup - we need to be able to expose this webservice - not on a single application server - but be available on the logon group ( message server ) so that the url that we provide for the webservice to the external system does not contain a single application server - but points to the logon group. We do not have a web dispatcher in our environment/architecture.
How do we go about exposing this point-to-point webservice on ECC 5.0 in a load balanced setup ? Any suggestions, experiences that can be shared ?

This can be done though SICF.
If you click on a service, their is a service data tab.
underthat tab is a Load Balancing option.
This then points the service at the SMLG logon group.
Regards
James
