Modifying the load-balancing algorithm
Modify the existing load-balancing algorithm to include the newly created servers.
About this task
To modify the existing load-balancing algorithm to include the newly created servers, select Load-Balancing Algorithm
from the main menu.
Steps
-
Run
dsconfig
and enter the LDAP connection parameters when prompted. -
Select the option for Load-Balancing Algorithm.
-
On the
Load-Balancing Algorithm menu
, enter the number corresponding to view and edit an existing Load-Balancing Algorithm. -
Add the
ds-central-01
andds-central-02
servers to thebackend-server
configuration property. -
On the
backend-server property menu
, enter the number corresponding to adding one or more values. -
Select the external servers to add.
For this example, select
ds-central-01.example.com
andds-central-02.example.com
. -
Review the changes made to the load-balancing algorithm’s configuration properties, and enter
f
to save changes.Result:
The change is saved and applied to the PingDirectoryProxy server. The load-balancing algorithm is referenced in the
load-balancing-algorithm
property of the request processor used by this PingDirectoryProxy server. -
To view this property, go to the main menu and select the
Request Processor
option. -
In the
Request Processor menu
, enter the number corresponding to view and edit an existing request processor. -
Select the request process used by the PingDirectoryProxy server, and review the configuration properties.
Result:
This request processor is used by the subtree view serviced by the PingDirectoryProxy server, which is in turn referenced by the client connection policy.
The changes made in this procedure are already in effect. The PingDirectoryProxy server does not have to be restarted.
