Virtual Hosts for Load Balancing

Hi all,
So I have two identical servers, that have SOA Suite installed pointing to the same database. (RHEL 4) I have configured the mod_oc4j.conf file for round robin, and then I created a virtual host on the httpd.conf file to point to the load balance hardware.
It worked! But with a slight issue. The Load Balance server is orasoaqa.tmpw.net:7777, which opens the main Application Server page. However, when I click on BPEL console, or ESB, it continues using the orasoaqa.tmpw.net:7777 virtual, which of course, breaks even trying to login.
What am I missing here? Here's the entry I added to mod_oc4j.conf:
Oc4jSelectMethod roundrobin:local
Here's the entry I added to the httpd.conf on server 1:
Port 7777
Listen 7777
NameVirtualHost XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:7777
<VirtualHost orasoaqaapp101.ma.tmpw.net:7777>
ServerName orasoaqa.tmpw.net
ServerAlias orasoaqaapp101.ma.tmpw.net
Port 7777
</VirtualHost>
and on server 2:
Port 7777
Listen 7777
NameVirtualHost XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:7777
<VirtualHost orasoaqaapp102.ma.tmpw.net:7777>
ServerName orasoaqa.tmpw.net
ServerAlias orasoaqaapp102.ma.tmpw.net
Port 7777
</VirtualHost>
Yes, the port for Application Server and the port on the Load Balancer are exactly the same, I hope this isn't the issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Seeing that you have an external load balancer available, you really should not be trying software load balancing. Windows NLBS is a software based load balancing and is not really dependent on the physical/virtual hosting of the OS. There are certain gotchas
w.r.t the NLB modes since they depend on network protocols such as arp, propagation of MAC addresses and usage of the MAC in the L2 routing tables of network devices.
You should be taking the help of the cloud service provider as ONLY they would have an understanding of their underlying networking infrastructure such as VLANS. addressing, routing rules and such.
You could also refer to the VMware support forum for KB's such as
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1006580
Most importantly, NLBS is a base OS related service and you're more likely to get a response in the Windows Server Forum. In the specific case of BizTalk, the Windows NLB is only used for hosting the out of process services such as those associated with
HTTP/s Receive, orchestration published as schemas, web services (asmx) and/or WCF endpoints.

  • CF8/JRun4 Cluster for Load Balancing

    Does anyone have an example of how to set up a CF8/JRun4
    cluster for load balancing?
    I have three servers:
    x004 - Linux - Apache2 (10.0.0.54,10.1.0.54)
    x020 - Linux - JRun4/CF8 (10.0.0.70,10.1.0.70)
    x021 - Linux - JRun4/CF8 (10.0.0.71,10.1.0.71)
    Every server in our network has two network cards. One
    network card is attached to 10.0.x.x which has a gateway to the
    internet and runs at 100Mbps and is firewalled, and the other is
    attached to 10.1.x.x which runs at 1Gbps and is internal with no
    gateway. I'm trying to set it up so web traffic arrives on
    10.0.0.54 into Apache and mod_jrun20 bootstraps a cluster named
    STST using 10.1.0.54 which consists of STST_x020 coldfusion server
    running on x020 and STST_x021 running on x021. I want the
    communications between JRun4 on x020 and x021 to occur on the
    10.1.x.x network and eventhough JRun and ColdFusion will only use
    the 10.1.x.x network I still need the 10.0.x.x network card
    attached for other purposes which require a gateway. I have
    installed JRun4/CF8 about 10 times already and it seems I have no
    control over what network JRun4 clusters on... sometimes it will
    communicate on one, sometimes the other and without being able to
    set which network is being used there always seems to be "network
    error" on at least one of the two CF8 servers. I was able to get
    everything working fine by disabling the network cards on the
    10.0.x.x network and re-installing everything... but as soon as I
    added the network cards back the whole thing was broken again.
    How is this supposed to work? Most of the examples are either
    no clustering or clustering on the same machine with Apache running
    on the same box... I don't see any clustering across machines
    examples.
    How do I install a connector on a web server which doesn't
    have JRun on it and get wsconfig to connect to a multi-machine
    cluster when wsconfig only accepts a single IP address as a host
    and the cluster is not listed?
    How do I get JRun to bind to a specific network card?
    Does this work if I choose a J2EE server other than JRun?
    Any help anyone can provide is greatly appreciated. I'm
    getting close to giving up which means staying on the non-clustered
    environment and figuring out how we can deal with scalability by
    switching to something else.

    The article at
    http://www.adobe.com/go/1e8e9170
    is specific to configuring two or more cluster nodes that reside on
    separate networks, e.g. 10.0.1.0/24 and 10.0.2.0/24. (The article
    doesn't state it, but you can only use unicast peers if your
    cluster nodes host a single instance of JRun or multiple instances
    of JRun in the same cluster domain. When performing unicast
    discovery, JRun looks for all Jini groups and not just the cluster
    group.)
    Anyhow, that's not your problem. The simplest solution is you
    haven't enabled the jrun.servlet.jrpp.JRunProxyService service. I'm
    most familiar with the Windows version of JRun, but I'm assuming
    the directory structure is similar across platforms. In
    <jrun_root>/servers/<name>/SERVER-INF/jrun.xml, set the
    deactivated attribute of the jrun.servlet.jrpp.JRunProxyService
    service to false and restart JRun. You should now see JRun
    listening on the appropriate port. (The default for the first
    manually created instance is 51000.) You can limit the proxy
    service to a single interface using the interface attribute.
    If you have enabled the proxy service, verify your security
    settings in <jrun_root>/lib/security.properties. It's usually
    best to limit access to specific hosts. Comment out the
    jrun.subnet.restriction parameter and set the jrun.trusted.hosts to
    the IP address of your web server, e.g. 10.1.0.54.
    Forcing all JRun processes/services to listen on a single
    interface isn't difficult, but it does require modifying quite a
    few configuration files by hand. If you need assistance with that,
    I can elaborate.
    Configuring the JRun module under Apache is pretty
    straightforward. If you're not using virtual hosts, it's very
    simple. If you are using virtual hosts, it's still simple, but your
    JRun configuration can be virtual host-specific.
    On your Apache server, you'll want to create a directory
    structure for the JRun module. I'll assume
    /opt/jrun/lib/wsconfig/1, but you can use anything you want. Once
    the directory structure is created, extract the appropriate JRun
    module from wsconfig.jar to the new directory. You're most likely
    interested in the Apache 2.0 module,
    wsconfig.jar/connectors/apache/intel-linux/prebuilt/mod_jrun20.so.
    Let's assume you've extracted the module to
    /opt/jrun/lib/wsconfig/1/mod_jrun20.so. Your Apache service account
    should have read, write, and execute permissions on the
    /opt/jrun/lib/wsconfig/1 directory.
    The JRun module configuration is normally appended to your
    current httpd.conf file by wsconfig. Here's a sample configuration:
    LoadModule jrun_module
    "/opt/jrun/lib/wsconfig/1/mod_jrun20.so"
    <IfModule mod_jrun20.c>
    JRunConfig Verbose false
    JRunConfig Apialloc false
    JRunConfig Ssl false
    JRunConfig Ignoresuffixmap false
    JRunConfig Serverstore
    "/opt/jrun/lib/wsconfig/1/jrunserver.store"
    JRunConfig Bootstrap 10.1.0.70:51000
    #JRunConfig Errorurl <optionally redirect to this URL on
    errors>
    #JRunConfig ProxyRetryInterval 600
    #JRunConfig ConnectTimeout 30
    #JRunConfig RecvTimeout 30
    #JRunConfig SendTimeout 30
    AddHandler jrun-handler .jsp .jws .cfm .cfml .cfc .cfr
    .cfswf
    </IfModule>
    You may also want to update your DirectoryIndex directive
    with an appropriate index page, e.g. index.cfm.
    After the first request to a page handled by the JRun module
    is received, the module will query the boostrap server,
    10.1.0.70:51000, for a list of cluster peers. If you've configured
    your cluster correctly, a line similar to following will be written
    to /opt/jrun/lib/wsconfig/1/jrunserver.store:
    proxyservers=10.1.0.70:51000;10.1.0.71:51000
    You can create/edit this file manually as well.
    Unfortunately, the bootstrap option only accepts one server. If
    your bootstrap server is down, the JRun module will use the values
    in jrunserver.store directly, if the file exists.
    Here's a complete list of JRun module options:
    metrics *
    debugger *
    ssl *
    verbose
    traceflags
    serverstore
    bootstrap
    errorurl
    apialloc
    ignoresuffixmap
    proxyretryinterval
    connecttimeout
    recvtimeout
    sendtimeout
    sslcalist
    Options flagged with an asterisk can only be configured at
    the Apache server level. All other options can be configured at the
    server level and/or the virtual host level. The usage of these
    options is in the JRun documentation, and the JRun module source
    code is included in wsconfig.jar. Keep in mind that versions of the
    JRun module shipped prior to ColdFusion 8 were coded to assign the
    connecttimeout and sendtimeout options to the socket connection
    timeout. Whichever option appeared last in your configuration ended
    up as the final value. This has been fixed in ColdFusion 8 and
    presumably the next release of the JRun updater.
    I think that's a good start. If you need more information or
    can't find what you need in the JRun or ColdFusion documentation,
    let me know.
    If you're looking for resiliency, I highly recommend
    expanding your configuration to include a second web server and a
    hardware load-balancer (preferably one that supports redudancy via
    multiple paths and devices, e.g. devices from Cisco, F5, or Foundry
    Networks). Often, however, running Apache on the ColdFusion
    server(s) provides adequate performance, and round-robin DNS
    records coupled with the ability to update DNS quickly in the event
    of a failure may be all you need for load-balancing and
    failover.

  • Cluster Apex MS's across multiple nodes for load balancing?

    Can Cluster Apex MS's across multiple nodes for load balancing? If Yes/No, any supportive doc's will be much appreciated.
    Here is what I did ..........
    I tried multiple MS's on different nodes for Apex Domain (clustered)
    Deployed apex.war, i.war with targets pointing to cluster.
    Apex listener techstack is shared filesystem $HOME/apex, where apex-config.xml and bdb are available
    Anyone of the MS's whichever started up first is locking up bdb and 500 server shows up when internal workspace is being launched with host specific url, where as it works fine for the host which actually locked up bdb (first MS that was started)
    2nd MS shows errors as below in log files ..
    Caused By: com.sleepycat.je.EnvironmentLockedException: (JE 4.0.103)$HOME/apex/bdb The environment cannot be locked for single writer access. ENV_LOCKED: The je.lck file could not be locked. Environment is invalid and must be closed.
    Its expected behavior until here .....
    ++++ I tried something to get it working ++++
    Whilst both MS's are up and running, delete $HOME/apex/bdb but let apex-config,xml be as it is...now the internal workspace urls for both hosts work fine. I logged into host specific urls and navigated, created/edited users.,etc and it is all looking good but it did not create new bdb directory under $HOME/apex ...!!
    Having said its working fine, the same issue repeats after the MS's bounce. So I did put a command line to delete bdb dir once the MS comes up to avoid the issue but really not sure if this is the right way at all?
    Geek's ...awaiting your advice!!

    Hey there,
    I managed to fulfill my requirement..
    If its a cluster on same machine or across machines, this should work
    1. Login to machine, cd $DOMAIN_HOME
    2. mkdir -p Apex_lsn_config/AdminServer Apex_lsn_config/<MS1> Apex_lsn_config/<MS2> # MS1 and MS2 are the Managed Server names as appropriate
    #If you are planning for cluster spawning MS's across machines, make sure you create the dir's on step 2 for each machine respectively. (in my case $DOMAIN_HOME is not shared)
    3. Copy apex-config.xml from the /tmp/apex or whatever location you have it currently to Apex_lsn_config/<MS1> Apex_lsn_config/<MS2>
    4. cd $DOMAIN_HOME/bin; cp -p SetDomainEnv.sh SetDomainEnv.sh.orig #Backup the file
    5. Append -Djava.io.tmpdir in SetDomainEnv.sh as below for JAVA_OPTIONS # Do it on both machine if you are not sharing DOMAIN_HOME and planning cluster across machines
    -Djava.io.tmpdir=$DOMAIN_HOME/APEX_CONFIG/${SERVER_NAME}
    Hint: Search for "iterativeDev" and append the same line with -Djava.jo.tmpdir
    6. Modify "java.io.tmpdir" from the web.xml file of apex.war as below and re-deploy the war
    <context-param>
         <param-name>config.dir</param-name>
         <param-value>${java.io.tmpdir}</param-value>
    </context-param>
    7. Bounce Weblogic Admin and Manged Servers. Make sure to tail the Managed Server log to see apex-config.xml is picked from the new location.
    8. Brew a Coffee for yourself :)
    - You find the instructions on creating a cluster from weblogic documentation, the steps mentioned above are only to overcome the bdb locking issue whilst creating a cluster.
    Did it help?

  • 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).

  • IPsec on hosts behind load balancing NAT

    Hi,
    I have a problem configuring IPsec tunnel between two sites, with one is using NAT for load balancing of TCP Traffic. I've been working on this for hours but i foung myself in a dead end.
    I have one router using NAT TCP load balancing of telnet traffic(in real deployment i need ftp load balancing, i am using telnet for testing purposes). This router is connected to another router, where multiple hosts are connected. I need to protect the traffic from those hosts to the server that is load balanced using NAT.
    So far i was no able to configure IPSec to work properly with this setup. I have working configuration with IPSec encrypting some traffic not destinated behind NAT, but once I add a line in the traffic specifying access lists on both sides the IPSec stops working(and it wont work from any site of the connection, from behind the NAT or destinated behind the NAT). The access list on the router performing NAT is configured to allow any traffic destinated to some specific addresses and the access list on the router with connected hosts specifies that any connection destinated to the global address, where the server are reachable, should be encrypted.
    On the side where the traffic comes from i allways see a debug output like this:
    ar  1 05:23:54.294: IPSEC(sa_request): ,
      (key eng. msg.) OUTBOUND local= 10.0.10.2, remote= 10.0.10.1,

    195.10.0.1 is my global address for the FTP server
    on the side where the encryption should be terminated i allways see an output like this:
    *Mar  1 05:23:54.130: map_db_find_best did not find matching map
    *Mar  1 05:23:54.130: IPSEC(validate_transform_proposal): no IPSEC cryptomap exists for local address 10.0.10.1
    But i can see that there is a crypto map for address 10.0.10.1
    RA#sh cryp map
    Crypto Map: "TCP_ENCRYPTION" idb: Serial0/0 local address: 10.0.10.1
    I tried to use some of the NAT traversal techniques for IPSec but without any success.
    If you have any idea what could be the problem or if you need any additional information or debugging output i will be glad for any help.
    Thanks, Adrian

  • Recommended configuration for load balanced Portal with load balancer, multiple gateways and multiple servers.

    Does anyone have a recommended network, hardware and software configuration guide for a Portal installation running with multiple gateways load balanced (ie one URL) that talk to multiple servers?

    David,
    We've used Resonate (software) to load balance the gateways. It allows
    you to group all the gateways under 1 virtual URL and load balance the
    incoming connections over each gateway depending on the rules that you
    define in Resonate. Look in the SUN portal whitepapers there is one that
    talks about it specifically.
    As far as load balancing the calls to the portals, the gateways will
    automatically load balance across all the portals that they know about
    using a simple round-robin rotation. You may be able to use Resonate in
    front of the portals but you may need to activate persistance within
    Resonate to ensure that the user always ends up on the portal that he
    established his initial connection on (if you want that), check with Sun
    on this one.

    Does anyone have a recommended network, hardware and software
    configuration guide for a Portal installation running with multiple
    gateways load balanced (ie one URL) that talk to multiple servers?

  • Some confusion about Web Cache clustering for load balancing

    I have 4 Windows 2003 identical machines having OAS 10g installed with Web Cache (Same Passwords and Oracle Home) . I want to utilize them for load-balancing using Microsoft Network Load-balancing. I followed the Note: 259208.1 till step#10. Now we have virtual machine "IASPROD" for all other nodes {IASPROD1,IASPROD2,IASPROD3,IASPROD4 } I am able to logon to Web Cache manager from all nodes separately.
    On Node-1 I added all nodes entries in " Origin Server " having routed "Enabled " for all of them. Same I did added in Site-Definitions and gave alias hostname as "IASPROD" which is virtual server.
    Priority =1
    Site Hostname =iasprod1.domain Port = 80
    Policy = Unrestricted
    Origin Server Hostnames , port,proxy
    iasprod1.domain 7778 No
    iasprod2.domain 7778 No
    iasprod3.domain 7778 No
    iasprod4.domain 7778 No
    I have couple of questions might be very basic but as I am configuring very first time.
    1. How do I access all the machines through virtual name as stated above ? I tried but not working.
    2. This cluster setup should be repeated for all Nodes or for only node-1.
    3. If for only Node-1 than what will heppen in case of Node-1 goes down.
    4. How can I verify Load-balancing is working ?
    If you guyz can guide me than I'll be very greatful.

  • How to define a separate virtual host for each client in SICF

    Hello,
    We have an ERP system with multiple clients running on it. The WebDynpro ABAP applications once developed are available on all clients, as standard. However, this is not our desired behavior. We want:
    1. The WebDynpro ABAP applications should be managed separately in SICF depending on the client
    2. The URL for accessing the WebDynpro application should have a own host name for each client. e.g.
    A WebDynpro application on client 100 should be accessed by http://host1:5000/sap/bc/... and the same application on client 200 should be accessed by http://host2:5000/sap/bc/...
    After a while researching I find out that creating a virtual host for each client in SICF would be a possible solution to fulfill the above mentioned requirments:
    1. Set the profile parameter is/HTTP/virt_host_* with corresponding host name and port number
    2. Create a new virtual host in SICF assigning the profile paramter to it
    3. Assign a client to this virtual host
    My question is how to specify a client to a virtual host? I didn't find any possibilities in SICF!
    Anyone can help me? Thanks a lot in advance!
    Best Regards
    Di Li

    Hi Srikishan,
    thanks for your reply. Your suggested way is certainly a potential, and also my preferred option for solving the multiple-client-capable URL access to WebDynpro / BSP applications.
    However, for some reasons, based on the customer requirements, the client should not be visible in the URL. The URL for accessing the WebDynpro / BSP applications on different client should have different host name, as if they are different companies. Besides that, we want to manage each WebDynpro / BSP application on different clients in SICF separately.
    Therefore, at least on my opinion, we need to introduce a virtual host for each client in SICF. But how do I make it happen?
    Regards

  • Best practice for load balancing on SA540

    Are there some 'best practice' guide to configure out load balancing on SA540 .?
    I've got 2 ADSL lines and would like device to auto manage outgoing traffic .. Any idea ?
    Regards

    Hi,
    SA500 today implements flow based round robin load balancing scheme.
    In the case of two WAN link (over ADSL), by default, the traffic should be "roughly" equally distributed.
    So in general, users should have no need to configure anything further for load balancing.
    The SA500 also supports protocol binding (~PBR) over WAN links. This mechanism offers more control on how traffic can flow.
    For example, if you have 1 ADSL with higher throughput than the other ADSL link offers, you can consider to bind bandwidth-hungry app on the WAN link connecting to the higher ADSL link and the less bandwidth-hungary app on the other one. The other traffic can continue to do round robin.  This way you won't saturate the low bandwidth link and give users better application experiences.

  • Mod_oc4j for load-balancing

    Guys,
    Looking for some feedback on DMSMetricCollector when using "metric" as the selectmethod for load-balancing. What i want to know is that whether the DMSMetricCollector can be configured to use multiple metrics such jvm-heapsiize, servlet-processRequestTime etc, Connection-pools FreePoolSize.value etc ? the documentation doesn't explicitly mention that if its possible, apparently it doesn't but want to check from the experts here, Steve you might have something on this...
    Or if there is any other implementation available which supports load-balancing based on multiple performance metrics
    Thanks and Regards

    can i use this loadbalancer.jar or not?

  • New CAS for Load Balancing Exchange 2007

    I want to add a new CAS to an existing Exchange 2007 environment (there is already one CAS and it functions properly) to allow for load balancing. After adding the new server I wanted to do some testing (before I actually set it up for load balancing).
    If I try to log in to a mailbox using OWA I get an error stating that "Exception type: Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Storage.ConnectionFailedTransient ExceptionException message: Cannot open mailbox". I am sure I am missing something simple, but cannot
    figure it out. Could someone point me in the right direction?

    Is your new CAS in the same Windows site as the rest of your Exchange servers?  In Exchange 2007 and 2010, the CAS needs to be in the same Windows site as the mailbox it is servicing (unless you are accessing from the Internet and the other site has
    no externally accessible CAS).

  • Windows Event Collector - Built-in options for load balancing and high availability ?

    Hello,
    I have a working collector. config is source initiated, and pushed by GPO.
    I would like to deploy a second collector for high availability and load balancing. What are the available options ? I have not found any guidance on TechNet articles.
    As a low cost option, is it fine to simply start using DNS round-robin with a common alias for both servers pushed as a collector name through GPO ?
    In my GPO Policy, if I individually declare both servers, events are forwarded twice, once for each server. Indeed it does cover high availability, but not really optimized.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    >>As a low cost option, is it fine to simply start using DNS round-robin with a common alias for both servers pushed as a collector name through GPO ?
    Based on the description, we can utilize DNS round robin to distribute workloads and increase fault tolerance. By default, DNS uses round robin to rotate the order of RR data returned in query answers where multiple RRs of the same type exist for a queried
    DNS domain name. This feature provides a simple method for load balancing client use of Web servers and other frequently queried multihomed computers. Besides, by default, DNS will perform round-robin rotation for all RR types.
    Regarding DNS round robin, the following article can be referred to for more information.

  • Query - Business Objects- CMS Cluster internals for load balancing/ sharing

    Hi,
    We are implementing CMS Cluster solution between two BOE server on Windows 2003 OS. As per documentation, One CMS server is primary, which coordinates with secory CMS server within same cluster. Does both server share equal load without external load balancer, by BOE cluster functionality? What are the tuning parameters for Load balancing between 2 CMS servers?
    Thanks for your help!!
    Regards,
    G

    If you somehow needed to accomplish load balancing between the 2 machines which wasn't 50/50 you could possibly try dns aliasing and have more copies of one machine than the other.  I'm not recommending this, just thinking out loud here.
