Chapter 5 Configuring Virtual Servers
Configuring Virtual Servers
Load balancing using an existing sticky group 1. In the Server Farm field, select the primary server farm
1
to use for
load balancing. This must be the primary server farm specified in
the existing sticky group.
2. In the Backup Server Farm field, select the backup server farm
1
to
use for load balancing. This must be the backup server farm
specified in the existing sticky group.
3. In the Sticky Group field, select the sticky group to use.
Note Sticky groups appear in the Sticky Group field only when their
configured primary and backup server farms are selected,
respectively. If you select a sticky group and then select a
different primary or backup server farm, the sticky group that
you selected in the Sticky Group field no longer appears. To
change an existing sticky group configuration, modify it in the
Stickiness configuration screen (Config > Virtual Contexts >
context > Load Balancing > Stickiness).
Load balancing using a new sticky group
1. In the Server Farm field, select the primary server farm
1
to use for
load balancing, or select *New* to configure a new server farm (see
Table 5-11).
2. In the Backup Server Farm field, select the server farm
1
to act as the
backup server farm for load balancing if the primary server farm is
unavailable, or select *New* to configure a new backup server farm
(see Table 5-11).
3. In the Sticky Group field, select *New*, and then configure a new
sticky group using the information in Table 5-13.
Note The context in which you configure a sticky group must be
associated with a resource class that allocates a portion of ACE
appliance resources to stickiness. See the “Managing Resource
Classes” section on page 4-35 for more information on resource
classes.
