Starting Web GUI load balancing operation

After you added a node, you start Web GUI load balancing. When creating a cluster, carry out this operation on each node in the cluster.

About this task

To start Web GUI load balancing on a node:

Procedure

  1. Open webgui-home/etc/server.init in a text editor.
  2. Locate the load balancing properties that begin with the cluster.mode property.
  3. Change the values of the properties as follows:
    Table 1. Setting the load balancing properties
    Property Value

    cluster.mode

    on

    cluster.hostname

    The name or TCP/IP address of the host that is running the new node.

    Example: server1

    cluster.port

    The number of the SSL port that the Web GUI server uses.

    Example: 16311

  4. Find the property timedtasks.enabled and set its value to true.
  5. Modify or set up the schedules for timed tasks as required.
    Note: Define the same set of timed tasks with identical schedules on all nodes in the cluster.
  6. Save the file.
  7. Restart the server.

    The node joins the cluster and reads its configuration data from the database.
