Thanks Craig. "1) Each "shared" configuration must be the same. I say shared, as you can have multiple configuration on each environment. The "shared" one must be the same or you can have errors."
My question is around the server/VM cloning part. If the servers are literally copies of the 1 server where I install & configure it, there cannot be any config drift. Ex: Cloning server/VM 'A' to create B, C, and D (I'm renaming the hostnames to match the VM/server names of course). - Vignesh Mainframe Infrastructure -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Craig Pace Sent: Monday 14-May-2018 19:34 To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: HOD Yes, you can do that, if your Load Balancer is correct configured. We ran HOD only from the Mainframe; however, we had several LPARs configured into a single "Network" LPAR using TCPIP balancing. Each environment will still have its own IP address; however, the Load Balancer will then have its own virtual IP Address. This allows you to use the virtual IP Address as your normal access and it will balance between the environments. This also allows you to connect to each environment separately as well, if needed. When do this, keep in mind the following: 1) Each "shared" configuration must be the same. I say shared, as you can have multiple configuration on each environment. The "shared" one must be the same or you can have errors. 2) You also must either use a Server/Client install combination for this to work correctly 100% of the time. You want the software to be loaded on the server and all personal configuration files to be loaded on the client side. This prevents them from having a chance of some different settings per environment.

We have several different started tasks running on several lpars that appear to serve different environments (UAT, CITRIX, etc.) and no load balancer being used that I am aware of. Ours can be started in at least two ways; JAVAWS at a CMD prompt and invoking a web url string. And that is almost the end of my knowledge about HOD and my HOD guy is unavailable (at a DR test).

Say there are 'n' servers that have HOD installed, and all of them are under a load balancer, so there's a single target. Would it work if the product was just installed and setup in 1 server, and then cloned 'n-1' times? - Vignesh Mainframe Infrastructure -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Richards, Robert B.
