How to enable Network load balancing for Enterprise portal

[Former Member]

Hello,

We have installed EP 7.0 central instance(00) and dialog instance (01) and would like to enable network load balancing between these two EP servers.Have installed network balancer and the configuration has been done at network level.

The below URLs are being used for accessing the portal

Central instance :

http://CIhostname:50000/irj/portal

Dialog Instance:

http://DIhostname:50100/irj/portal

Both the port number has to be same for enabling load balancing.In order to acive this we have to map this port to http port by making some changes in Visual Administrator.

Can you please let me know step by step procedure or any link where i can find the same?

Appreciate your response

Thanks,

Vadi

Dear Juan,

Thanks for your response.Network load balancer has already been installed and we are not planning to use Web dispatcher.

Please let me know the procedure for NLB?

Thanks,

NLB is a third party software... maybe you should contact the vendor

vadi,

Please let me know which NLB you are using?

I think you need application load balancer / reverse proxy / web disp to balance load two instances of EP. NLB will not help you in this case.

Dear Jay,

Thnaks for your reply.

No...NLB will helpful in load balancing between different 2 different application (Ep)servers.

We are using microsoft network load balancer.Found the service http provider in VA for making those changes.

Any way thanks.
