Adding load balancing

When you install multiple engines and virtual proxies, you must add load balancing to the new nodes and virtual proxies. It is only on the central node that load balancing is automatically added. If you create a node without configuring the virtual proxy, the node will never actually be used. If you create a new virtual proxy, you must configure it by adding load balancing and selecting which nodes that the virtual proxy can forward work to.

Do the following:

1. Select Virtual proxies on the QMC start page or from the StartS drop-down menu to display the overview.

   Tip noteYou can filter a column by using the filtering option: ..

2. Select the virtual proxy you want to add load balancing to.

3. Click Edit.

   The virtual proxy properties are shown.

4. In the Load balancing property, click P Add new server node to select which server nodes to add load balancing to.

   A dialog opens.

   Tip noteYou can apply a filter to a column by clicking ..
   Tip note Click a column heading to sort that column ascending S or descending R.

5. Select nodes from the list.

6. Click Add.

   The dialog closes and the nodes are added in the list of Load balancing nodes on the virtual proxy edit page.

   Click Apply to save your changes. If a mandatory field is empty, Apply is disabled.

7. Click Apply in the action bar.

   A confirmation dialog is displayed telling you that the proxy must be restarted, sessions will be ended and users logged out.

8. Click OK.

   Successfully updated is displayed at the bottom of the page.

You have now added load balancing.
