Setting the load balancing mode for a pool
A load balancing mode is specified as a pool attribute when a pool is defined
and may be changed by changing this pool attribute. For information about
configuring a pool, see Working with pools, on page 4-3. The following
example describes how to configure a pool to use Ratio Member load
balancing. Note that for Ratio Member mode, in addition to changing the
load balancing attribute, you must assign a ratio weight to each member
node.
Tip
The default ratio weight for a node is 1. If you keep the default ratio weight
for each node in a virtual server mapping, the nodes receive an equal
proportion of connections as though you were using Round Robin load
balancing.
To configure the pool and load balancing mode using the
Configuration utility
1. In the navigation pane, click Pools.
The Pools screen opens.
• If you are adding a new pool, click the Add button.
The Add Pool screen opens.
• If you are changing an existing pool, click the pool in the Pools
list.
The Pool Properties screen opens.
2. In the Add Pool screen or Pool Properties screen, configure the pool
attributes. For additional information about defining a pool, click
the Help button.
Note
Round Robin is the default load balancing mode and never needs to be set
unless you are returning to it from a non-default mode.
To switch a pool to ratio_member mode using the
Configuration utility
1. In the Current Members list, click the member you want to edit.
2. Click the Back button (<<) to pull the member into the resources
section.
3. Change or add the ratio value for the member.
4. Click the Add button (>>) to add the member back to the Current
Members list.
5. Click Done.
