What is Load balancing..??

could anyone help me what is Load balancing..??
  Best regrads!

Load balancing is nothing but ..keeping work processes busy...
If for particular workprocess 5 tasks assigned and it has filled ...
filling the tasks for other work processes is called load balancing..

  • What is load balancer in fms cluster and how to configure it and testing fms clustering

    Hey guys,
                I am new to fms and clustering the fms server in origin-edge mode.But i am confused actually what is load balancer and how to configure it .
    After configuring , how to test and confirm that fms clustering is working.Is there any one can help me, plz....................
                                                                                                   thanks in Advance........

    Flash Media Server does not come bundled with a load balancer.  In theory, one deploys FMS in an edge/origin configuration like this
    1 Origin ----> N Edges ------> Customer Traffic
    The idea here is that N edges shoulder the load for most customers with a single origin coordinating resources like VOD content or script access.  The issue that remains is "how do I spread customers over the N edges" and that's where load balancing comes in.  Most customers use a prepackaged load balancing solution - as an Adobe staffer I can't recommend any of them over the other, but you should be able to get some recommendations here along with just googling for it.  The short answer contained here though is, you're going to have to find one outside of FMS if that's needed for your setup.

  • What is load balancing in sap business objects.

    Hi friends.
    Any one give me correct answer..

    Hi,
    it depends if you are talking about clustering the processing tiers (& using server groups) to achieve load-balancing, or if you mean using a load balancer in front of the web-tier (typically, Apache Tomcat) ? Also. it could be a software or hardware load balancer.
    essentially, it splits the load across the boxes.

  • Weblogic cluster software load balancer

    Hi,
    We are currently using Weblogic domain as a Proxy Plug-In for High Availability test as it’s explained in this blog http://andrejusb.blogspot.com/2009/04/weblogic-load-balancing-for-oracle-adf.html.
    Its working fine for POC project but what software load balancer would you recommended for production environment on Linux? (Assume that we don’t have a hardware load balancer).
    - Oracle active-passive OHS web-tier clustering.
    -Using Linux open source Linux Software(e.g. HAProxy and KeepAlived as explained here http://biemond.blogspot.com/2010/04/high-availability-load-balancer- for.html
    -Using any other software load Balancer
    I would appreciate if anybody can provide some recommendations/links etc.
    Thanks

    Hi Alex,
    Yes you should never use HttpClusterServlet, not even for fun ;-)
    We use mod_wl (Web Server Plug-In) for Apache for several customers and that works fine.

  • Load Balancing and WLS primary server offset

    I've got a load balancer in front of my WLS cluster, and I'm trying to
              set up load balancing based on WLS clustering. What I need to know to
              do this is the offset within the cookie that's responsible for
              determining which machine within the cluster to direct to.
              Any idea how I can get this information?

              In Memory session replication doesn't work without our plugins. I will have to
              do little bit of investigation to figure out if other persistence mechanism's
              would work without our plugins if you are interested in them. I have to remind
              you though that other types of persistence mechanism's we support are slower
              compared to in memory session replication.

              Currently none. We are taking steps to make the plugin's and cluster more
              robust, we currently don't have any plans to work with other 3rd party vendors.

              This information is saved in the cookie. But I wouldn't count that, as we
              have plans to change this. I cannot give your more details.

              I don't quite get what you mean here.

  • Port Channel Load-Balancing Algorithm (North Bound)

    I'm trying to figure out what the load balancing algorithm for the 6100 and 6200 FIs for the Northbound connections. I can't find any documentation on how to change it.
    The Nexus 7000s use an 8-bit hash, making it very easy to do something other than 2, 4, or 8 link port channel and get even (at least algorithmically) distribution.
    Catalyst switches (not sure about Sup2T though) would use a 1, 2, or 3-bit index, which would skew traffic algorthmically if you used a non-power of 2.
    Looking at the 5K documentation, it seems to use the Catalyst style (though haven't been able to confirm). My guess is that whatever is used for the 5Ks is used for the 6100/6200.
    Design wise, this would mean you would want to use powers of 2 for your NB uplinks.

    Hello Tony,
    On UCS FI, it uses " sr-cdest-ip " as the load balancing algorithm and uses 8 parameters for hashing
    6248-01-B(nxos)# sh port-channel load-balance
    Port Channel Load-Balancing Configuration:
    System: source-dest-ip
    Port Channel Load-Balancing Addresses Used Per-Protocol:
    Non-IP: source-dest-mac
    IP: source-dest-ip source-dest-mac
    6248-01-B(nxos)# show platform fwm info pc port-channel 1
    dump pc info: if_index 369098752 dump_all 0 verbose 1
    Po1: state 0x0  #pifs 1  fwimpd ctx 0x9666c1c

    Po1: hash params - l4_da 1 l4_sa 1 xor_sa_da 1 hash_elect 1
    I could not find an option to change these values.

  • Service Request - Load balancing weight & TM labour schedule

    What is Load balancing weight? How does it work, (I think it must be w.r.t the selecting resources for assigning the task, But how does it work, I am not getting the help menu in this)
    How does the T&M labour schedule is managed
    Regards

    Hi,
    1. I had some time and setup your config. Load Balancing seems to work fine for me. I tried to work with 4 different clients.
    WHat I did to set it up:
    # Failover RG for shared address
    scrgadm -a -g proftp-srg -h mars,saturn
    scrgadm -a -S -j hafast_r -g proftp-srg -l hafast
    # Scalable RG for proftpd
    scrgadm -a -g proftp-rg -y Maximum_primaries=2 -y Desired_primaries=2 -h mars,saturn -y RG_dependencies=proftp-srg
    scrgadm -a -j proftp_r -g proftp-rg -t SUNW.gds -y Network_resources_used=hafast_r -y Port_l
    ist=4443/tcp -x Start_command=/usr/local/sbin/proftpd -x Probe_command=/bin/true -y Scalable=true -y Load_balancing_policy=Lb_sticky_wild
    I assume that the key is the Lb_sticky_wild setting. As proftp forks new processes for every connection and even does reconnects during operation with new ports this seems to be essential. Please try
    2. It was not considered an excellent idea to configure ftp as a scalable service. Reason is that you now have network traffic load balanced. Question is: how do you configure shared storage. Do you have one (1) underlying global filesystem??? That could be a bottleneck. Check it out.
    Regards
    Hartmut
    PS: BTW I used proftp 1.3.0

  • What's the best way to load balance multiple protocols on one vserver?

    Hi,
    We have a CSM blade on a 6513, in bridge mode. I'm just wondering what is the best way to serve HTTP and HTTPS (or any two or more ports) from the same group of servers. As I see it, we have two options:
    1. Don't set a port on the vserver, so it is load balancing "any" or "tcp". This is easy but I want to be sure there isn't a downside to this, other than the obvious security issue.
    2. Create multiple vservers and point them at the same serverfarm. I tried this and I got some odd results with the health checks.
    Any ideas? Thanks a lot.

    you listed the only 2 options available.
    The advantage of solution #2 is that you can apply specific config for each protocol ie: for HTTP you can turn 'persistent rebalance' if needed.
    If you want to use specific probes [not icmp], it is also a good practice to create a different serverfarm for each protocol.
    Like this, if the HTTP service goes down but not the server, you can still have other protocols loadbalanced.

    Gilles.

  • Load balancing BSSV multiple instances - what is your experience?

    Hi,
    we encountered an issue: we have three weblogic instances running BSSV Server instances for our JDE. THE BSSV instances are being communicated by SOA mostly and we would like to load balance the traffic between those three bssv servers. The problem is we need to use a certificate in order to load balance https.
    The question is: has anyone of you performed such or similar operation before? What approach would you advise/recommend based on your experience? We will not use weblogic/webcache load balancing.
    Thanks.

    I haven't found a specific JDE forum to have this question addressed by JDE. So, I will try to help from Weblogic Server perspective.
    Is JDE installed in a SOA weblogic server environment?
    If so you can follow SOA EDG which covers load balancing.

  • Weird load balancing and paging: What is going on?

    Hi,
    We have EP 7 installed in our environment.  The Portal has a Central Instance and two dialog instances.  We are using NetScaler 7 as a load balancer.  Our load balancer is currently configured with a weighted round-robin of 3:3:1.  For all requests, 3 connections are set to each of the dialog instance with only 1 connection sent to the central instance. 
    We have recently received a monitoring report which indicates that, despite the load balancing configurations, one of the dialog instance (DI1) is having a higher CPU load.  We assume this means that more requests are being sent to one particular instance.  Comparing this report with the past reports we have received, this particular instance has been consistently getting higher CPU loads, which is puzzling.  The dialog instances in our Portal setup do not do anything else, other than serving Portal requests.  In other words, no third party applications are installed on these servers.  We do not know why this particular instance is having a higher CPU load.  Is there anything that we can do to find out why this instance keeps having a higher CPU load?  Is there something we should be doing at the load balancer's end?
    On a different note, the other dialog instance (DI2) is having high paging activities.  From one of the posts in the forums, it seems to indicate that the high paging might be an indication that the Portal is undergoing some garbage collection activities.  However, it does not make sense that only ONE instance is having high paging if garbage collection is carried out on.  How is it that the rest of the instances are not having high paging issues?  Has anyone come across this situation?  What should we do to find out what is going on behind the screens?
    Any suggestions/advice would be much appreciated.
    Thank You.

    Hi Dagfinn,
    Many thanks for your reply. 
    Question1: How is NetScaler configured with regards to stickyness?
    We have NetScaler Persistence turned on, so that users' requests are served by the same dialog instance from the beginning to the end.  We found that if Persistence is not enforced, a user's request could be sent to a different dialog instance, which will cause data inconsistencies.  Can this be counted as stickyness?  I am not sure how Persistence is maintained.  It could be possible that it is done via IP...I will find out more from my colleague, who is maintaining NetScaler. 
    I guess we will need to have monitoring tools in place to determine the actual load distribution, as you have suggested in Question 2.  I guess we will have to consider the viable actions to be taken from what we shall observe... 
    Question 2: Can you get some data one how NetScaler is distributing the load in practice (not in theory, ie. configuration) ? (usually is a monitoring tool for this in such a product)
    I believe my colleague has such tools.  I will try to obtain the relevant data and make the appropriate analysis.
    Question 3: How many server nodes do you have for the central instance and for the two dialog instances?
    We have 1 server node in the central instance and 3 server nodes for each of the dialog instance.
    Many thanks again on your suggestion to choose a better score other than weighted round-robin.  We'll do the necessary analysis and decide a better score to use on NetScaler.

  • Nic teaming - what is dynamic load balancing

    When set up nic teaming in Windows  2012 I have the option of selecting "Address Hash", "Hyper-V Port", or "Dynamic" for the load balancing mode. The technet documentation explains "Address Hash" and "Hyper-V
    Port" but there is nothing about "Dynamic". Is there anywhere I can find a description of what the "Dynamic" option provides?

    Microsoft's official recommendation is to use Dynamic load balancing in most configurations.
    Section 3.3 of
    the NIC Teaming Deployment Guide explains what Dynamic is.  Section 3.4 suggests when to use Dynamic load balancing, and when to use other modes.
    I suggest reading the Guide from start to finish.  I learn new things every time I look at it.

  • 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.
