Adding load balancing

When you install multiple engines and virtual proxies, all virtual proxies will by default load balance users at random across all engines. This can be modified so that a virtual proxy only talks to its local engine or specific engines by adding load balancing to selected nodes.

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 apply a filter to a column by clicking ..

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 one or more nodes from the list.

6. Click Add.

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

   You must click Apply to save your changes. Apply is disabled if a mandatory field is empty.

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 to continue.

   Successfully updated is displayed at the bottom of the page.

You have now added load balancing.
