Midtier Clustering

2008-08-19 Thread Kaiser Norm E CIV USAF 96 CS/SCCE
Hi everyone: Is it possible to create a high availability Midtier cluster? That is, a cluster of Midtier servers that behave as a virtual single server so that if one server fails the other picks up the load without the end users noticing? Thanks, Norm

For the most part it is possible. Since the remedy java api's do not support serialization and/or due to the weird licensing arrangement of mid-tier, sessions must be persistent behind a load balancer. This means that all sessions to a given host will cease working in the event of a node failure

If you configure multiple mid-tier servers behind a load balancer, if one of them goes down then the load balancer would re-point
