Hello,
Yes, you can but you may need a nat-pool to have the response going back to the ACE.  Please send me the running-config or showtech of the Context and let me know the VIP with this issue

  • Enabling server-side load balancing with Oracle 10g RAC

    Hi, all.
    I created a RAC database on vmware by using DBCA.
    By default, remote_listener and tnsname.ora have been configured.
    The followings are part of dba_services from my RAC database.
    NAME, GOAL, ENABLED, CBL_GOAL
    SYS$BACKGROUND NONE NO SHORT
    SYS$USERS NONE NO SHORT
    DEVDB NO LONG
    By default(created by DBCA), server-side load balancing is enabled for
    the RAC database, DEVDB??
    --> GOAL of DEVDB is null, but CBL_GOAL IS LONG.
    After creating a RAC db by using "DBCA", do I need to do something
    for server-side load balancing??
    If so what I need to do?? How can I test it??
    And what is beneficial in enabling server-side loadbalancing ??
    Is it good in the real world??
    Thanks for reading.
    Best Regards.

  • Server Side Load Balancing Testing

    Hi,
    Can any one tell me about any test case for server side load balancing in an 11.1.0.7 RAC?
    I have a 2 nodes RAC with local_listener and remote_listener set properly (for server side load balancing). For testing, i have create a TNS at my client side which points to only one node of RAC (a single ADDRESS entry pointing to node 1 of my RAC). So, from this client, when ever i connect, it always connects me to the node 1 which i have mentioned in the TNS. Does it mean that server side load balancing works in conjunction with client side load balancing only and i should add ADDRESS entry in my TNS for the second node also? If yes, then how can i create a test case to check server side load balancing?
    Thanks
    Salman

    Thanks Rajeysh but i already have seen these documents after "googling" about server side load balancing but these documents don't give my any idea for testing the server side load balancing. My goal is actually testing the following scenario
    Creating a TNS entry to connect to a RAC database (with server side load balancing enabled) by using a single ADDRESS line in TNS which points to node1 to connect to service on node 1 (service_name is set to same value on all the nodes).
    Now, if i invoke 10 SQLPLUS windows to connect to the RAC database using this TNS, it always connects me to instance 1 running on node 1, where is server side load automatic load balancing? Why new sessions are not being directed to some other instance and why every time i always connect to instance 1?

  • Client side load balancing and server side load balancing

    Hello Team,
    I need to know how to set up client and server side load balancing in oracle rac.  What all things to be implemented like creating a service, tnsnames.ora settings etc.
    And also if i used SCAN ip instead of VIP. how the settings will change.

  • ARFC: Single Server and Load Balancing

    Hi All,
    I am trying to create aRFC model. In SAP logon screen, I can see two tab pages - Single Server and Load Balancing.
    Can you please let me know when we have to use which tab?
    Thanks

    Single Server Connect or Load Balancing connect is completely independend from the location where SAP Gui Client is installed.
    Single Server connect means that your are directly connecting to an ABAP Server using hostname and systemnumber you have to provide.
    Load Balancing Connect means that you specify the message server of the central instance of an ABAP Server group. The SAPGUI first connects to the message server which will provide the SAPGUI with the information about the best performing ABAP server. SAPGUI will then connect to this ABAP server.
    Single Server is suitable for small landscapes with lets say less than 4 application servers. In huger configurations (and those which I know will grow to more than 3 servers)I would prefer to use logon groups - aka Load Balancing.

  • How to send communication message from application server to load balancer

    Hi,
    Environment: 8 application servers are clustered behind a load balancer. Java/J2EE based client-server application
    When any one of the servers is supposed to go down, I want to send a message from that server, programmatically, to load balancer something which signifies "server is down or going down, do not forward any client connections to me". This is to avoid any CLOSE_WAITs.
    How do I achieve this? How can I send message programmatically from app server to load balancer? From very basic knowledge, SNMP can be used for this. But do not know how to start of. Any other means is also OK. Need details.
    Thanks
    Sunil

    At the same time we stop accepting any new connections [ServerSocket.accept() will be escaped during server shutdown].Just close the ServerSocket.
    Both these are working fine. But during the 25 seconds, still the client connections gets queued up trying to find that serverNot if you close the ServerSocket.
    reason being the load balancer is still forwarding requests to this server whose shutdown has started but not completed. So CLOSE_WAITS happen.Not if you close the ServerSocket. Not that the CLOSE_WAITS are the actual problem, as they will all disappear when the server exits. It's more that the clients shouldn't have been able to create the connection in the first place. Which wouldn't have happened if you had closed the ServerSocket.
    If we tell load balancer not to send any more client socket connections, then we completely avoid getting CLOSE_WAITS.If you close the ServerSocket ditto.

  • Use message server as load balancing instead of web dispacher for XI in HA

    Hi all!
        We are currently upgrading a cluster XI installation from 3.0 to 7.0.
        The idea is:
              Now:    1 node (central instance)
                         1 node (database)
              Future: 1 node (central instance)
                         1 node (database + application instance)
         So we need some king of load balancing between the two instances.
         We already know web dispatcher and all configuration required. However we
    were trying not to use it but use the abap/java message server who can also do
    the redirect.
         However, once the Exchange Profile has been updated, it does not work.
         If we change "com.sap.aii.connect.repository.httpport" to "8101". Cache refresh stop working with a "Authorization Error". This is really strange because if I try the very same URL in the explorer and I enter the logon data, I have no problem.
         Do you have any experience with this? I mean, is it possible to avoid installing web dispatcher?
         Thanks and kind regards,
               Encinas.

    Hi David,
    the message server does only a redirect and some XI applications (JAVA and ABAP side) cannot handle the redirect URL.
    Therefore in the XI environment you have to use a "real" dispatcher (keeping the session and forwarding the session, instead of redirect) - for example you can use the SAP WebDispatcher here.

  • Accessing individual server in load-balanced cluster not working as expected

    We have a cluster set up with multiple managed servers and hardware load
              balancers sitting in front to direct traffic. We have the frontend host
              configured to be the dns name of the single URL for the cluster, which maps
              to the IP address that the load balancers balance. When accessing part of
              our site (a WebLogic portal) at
              http://server1/portalApp/appmanager/portal/desktop
              (where server1 is the name of one of the managed servers)
              the portal performs a redirect to the login page at
              /portalApp/appmanager/portal/desktop?_nfbp=true&_pageLabel=login_page.
              The URL that results in the browser is not what I would expect, which would be
              http://server1/portalApp/...
              Instead, it is
              http://cluster/portalApp/...
              where cluster is the frontend host setting. Is there any way to avoid
              this, so we can perform directed testing on specific managed servers?
              Thanks,
              Andy
              

    Hi Maria, thanks for your help! I wrote a simple test jsp that does a
              redirect if a parameter is set, otherwise it doesn't do anything. When I
              accessed the jsp at server1/app/test.jsp?a=true, something (I assume
              either WebLogic or the load balancer) rewrote the URL after the redirect
              (the redirect was to /app/test.jsp). The URL that appears in the browser
              after the redirect is cluster/app/test.jsp. Do you know if this happens
              because of WebLogic or the load balancer? Our load balancers are Cisco
              11503's I believe.
              Do you think it would make any difference if I leave the frontend host
              for the cluster to be the dns name of the cluster, and then if I set the
              frontend host for each server to be the dns name of that specific server?
              Currently each server does not have any value entered for frontend host.
              Thanks!

  • Adding a 2nd WFE to a Production Farm - Load balanced using F5 Virtual IPs

    Hello all,
    In much reading I haven't been able to find a more or less straight answer to this question:  I have a small-ish SharePoint farm; 1 WFE, 1 App and a SQL cluster.  I need to bring a 2nd web front end into the farm.  What I am trying to find
    out is, may I install the SharePoint bits and join the new web front end to the farm - without putting the web apps' IPs into my F5 pools - without adversely impacting the farm?  
    What I'm after is time to test the new web front end by redirecting my browser to it via my hosts file.  Once I'm confident all is well, I would then configure WFE2 to have traffic forwarded to it through the F5.  Is this a reasonable hope?
    Thanks in advance for any advice you might provide

    Yes, that will work.
    Having an extra WFE that isn't included in your load balancer is actually a fairly common practice when you use it as a dedicated crawl target, there' no impact to having it there unused for a while.
    Thanks very much for confirming; I appreciate that! 

  • Installing 2 Application server and 1 DB server and load balancing for 11i

    Hi,
    I need info on how to install and configure load balancing for 11.5.8 on Win2000. The scenario: 1 db server DB, 2 apps/web/forms servers AP1 and AP2. Using rapid install you can only specify one db server A and one form server in multi node installations, right? How do I install the form server on AP2? Can I use the same config.txt? The computer name for AP2 is different.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Jagal

    I have the very same issue. We want to install 4 web/form servers on a hardware load-balancer and the issue is we can only specify one forms server.
    Does anyone know the secret bullet here?
    Thanks

  • Mediation server DNS load balancing with Avaya IP-PBX

    Dear team,
    There's a customer having a total Avaya Solution as their PABX solution. Also, the client does have Lync Server 2010 Enterprise environment with 2x FE servers (Mediation Service collocated)
    and is looking for the option of integrating the Lync with their Avaya using 'Avaya CM SIP Enablement Services' which is mentioned in the 'Supported lP-PBX' list.
    In terms of load balancing, currently, I have the 2 FE servers in the pool collocated with mediation role under DNS load balancing. I would like to know whether
    it is possible to have the integration in such a load balancing way from Lync's point, without having to use a standalone or HLB device?
    *Want to know if one FE goes down, the mediation services will be used the second FE server
    by the Avaya system?*
    Thank you,
    Cheers..

    HI
    Multiple mediation servers connecting to the same PSTN gateway or SIP trunk required redundant DNS A records pointing to the same IP to fool the Topology Builder. Lync 2013 supports M-N
    trunk routing. This allows for multiple trunks pointing to different gateways as well as for gateways with multiple trunks for different Mediation Servers.
    After First Server will went down it might take some to go Second Server.

  • Load Balancing, Server and / or Client ?

    Hi
    I am experiencing a problem with the connection pooling in odp.net. I have a simple test app that creates a connection, executes a query, populates an object then closes the connection. I have found that when I have client side load balancing on via the odp.net connection string property many connections are made unnecessary (sometime the actual number created reaches the max pool size but the numbers differ randomly). It appears that rather than a free connection in the pool being used more connections are being created which defeats the point of having a connection pool. I do have server side load balancing configured correctly also. Due to this finding can someone possibly answer the following questions.
    a) Do I need both server side and client side load balancing set?
    b) If I do why is the above behaviour being seen? If not could you give me a short explanation as to why not?
    Current set up is 11g (patched to 6, awaiting 7 to be applied) RAC, 2 nodes.
    Below is the C# code used while testing this. The table queried is a simple person table containing 16000 rows if data.
    OcConnection = "User Id=XXX; Password=XXX; Connection Lifetime = 60; Data Source=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(FAILOVER=on)(LOAD_BALANCE=off)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=XXX)(PORT=1521))(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=XXX)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=MyFirstTest))); Pooling=true; HA Events = true; Load Balancing = true";
    Code:-
    Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleConnection con;
    con = new Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleConnection();
    con.ConnectionString =OcConnection;
    con.Open();
    // the command object to use for this test
    OracleCommand cmd = con.CreateCommand();
    cmd.CommandText = "select * from PERSON";
    OracleDataReader rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
    List<test> listTest = new List<test>();
    while (rdr.Read())
    test dc = new test();
    if (!rdr.IsDBNull(0))
    dc.id = Convert.ToInt32(rdr.GetValue(0));
    if (!rdr.IsDBNull(1))
    dc.forename = rdr.GetString(1);
    if (!rdr.IsDBNull(2))
    dc.surname = rdr.GetString(2);
    if (!rdr.IsDBNull(3))
    dc.street = rdr.GetString(3);
    if (!rdr.IsDBNull(4))
    dc.city = rdr.GetString(4);

    Here are the HTTP Headers as monitored on the client side. Notice the good.txt file includes a GET as it's initial request. All works fine in this case. However, the initial request in the bad.txt is a POST. This is odd since the URL was opened using the same shortcut in both incidents and the browser was closed between each trace that was taken. I've also reviewed the shortcut with notepad to verify it does not include unwanted data such as the JSESSIONID info....etc.
    Once you have reviewed the HTTP headers, I have these questions.
    1. IIS is sending the 100 Continue messages as you mention, but why is the CSS injecting the cookie in a 100 response that is not typically processed by the client? The bad.txt file shows the client receiving two ARPT cookies because the first cookie in the 100 continue response was ignored.
    2. I know Cisco is not really in the business of troubleshooting browser behaviour. But do you know why the browser would behave differently....GET in one request and a POST in the next? We do not wish to get into modifying the browser, so I'm hoping we can provide a solution on the server side that will allow the browser to function this way if it chooses to do so. Do you think it would make sence to push the state management up a level to the cookie handed out by JRUN? This way, the cookie would not be handed back in a 100 response from IIS, and we could tell the CSS to monitor the JRUN cookie. Of course this would require we determine how to manage this cookie either by modifying to cookie to have static data for each server, or by using the right method of hashing...etc.

  • CSS Load balancing for Exchange Server

    Hi,
    I have CSS configured in single arm and I have multiple servers configured for load balancing and it is working fine but when I am configuring Exchange server for load balancing I am facing problem and applications and printer/scanners are not able to send the email through the Virtual IP address configured for exchaneg server.
    But if we configured the real server IP in the printer/scanners they are able to send the email. While checking the logs on the exchange server, it is showing that request for the email so coming from the Exchange VIP configured in the CSS.

    I think this is related to single arm modle or some wrong configuration for the NAT.

  • T3 Load Balancing with Weblogic Server 6.1

    We are using rwo weblogic 6.1 servers A and B behind a load balancer with a DNS name (eg. www.loadbalancer.com). We are using T3 for Java client to application server communication. The client creates the Initial context with the load balancer url,creates remote objects using the context, closes the initial context and then tries to get a new initial Context. What we noticed is even though the client closes the first context and gets a new one, the client is always hooked on to only one server making load balancing ineffective. Is there a T3 configuration to release the connection when we close the context ? The documentation says only one T3 is established per client JVM.
