Chapter 5 Configuring Virtual Servers
Configuring Virtual Servers
• Real servers
• Server farms
• SSL services
• Sticky groups
Because these objects are shared, modifying an object’s configuration in one virtual server can impact
other virtual servers that use the same object.
Configuring Shared Objects
ACE Appliance Device Manager offers the following options for shared objects in virtual server
configuration screens (Config > Virtual Contexts > context > Load Balancing > Virtual Servers):
• View—Click View to review the object’s configuration. The screen refreshes with read-only fields
and the following three buttons.
• Cancel—Click Cancel to close the read-only view and to return to the previous screen.
• Edit—Click Edit to modify the selected object’s configuration. The screen refreshes with fields that
can be modified, except for the Name field which remains read-only.
Note Before changing a shared object’s configuration, make sure you understand the effect of the
changes on other virtual servers using the same object. As an alternative, consider using the
Duplicate option instead.
• Duplicate—Click Duplicate to create a new object with the same configuration as the selected
object. The screen refreshes with configurable fields. In the Name field, enter a unique name for the
new object, and then modify the configuration as desired. This option allows you to create a new
object without impacting other virtual servers using the same object.
Deleting Virtual Servers with Shared Objects
If you create a virtual server and include shared objects in its configuration, deleting the virtual server
does not delete the associated shared objects. This ensures that other virtual servers using the same
shared objects are not impacted.
