Load balancing in EP

[Former Member]

Dear All,

We want to do load balancing in our EP Production server, server landscape as like this. It is having CI and DB on separate nodes in a cluster and one app server, is it possible to do load balancing in this environment?

Hi,

you can use either SAP web dispatcher or any other 3rd party load balancer like F5 network-BIG-IP.

Dear Rajneesh,

Thanks for your reply, I am aware of web dispatcher and other 3rd part tools my question is for clustered server is it possible to make load balancing (ie CIDBApp)

Hi,

Of course it is possible, just use the cluster alias in the web dispatcher configuration file.

If you want to install the web dispatcher on the cluster, install it as a cluster resource. Therefore it will not become a single point of failure.

Hi Olivier,

Thanks for your reply, in the cluster we have two different node name so how to use these two name in configuration file?

Hi Rakesh,

On a cluster you never use the cluster nodes hostnames, you use the resource aliases.

So use the SAP Resource alias to install the web dispatcher.

Hello Rakesh,

I hope you will be having an alias host name for cluster.

You need to use the alias of cluster and application hostname as other.

Hi Olivier,

Thanks for your reply, alias name means cluster node name you mean to say?.

Hi Rakesh,

When you use SAP on a cluster you have to learn what are the concepts of a cluster.

This cannot be explained on a forum thread.
