I have a customer that has a 3 server FOG setup. Per the customers request they want to move a certain number of Sunray's onto each secondary server and have them remain there no matter what. The only way I know how to make a DTU stick on a particular server is to take the opposing server offline. I know that is not proper and did some researching and found via the auth.props file you can set enableLoadBalancing to false which kills the load balancing effect. What are the cons for doing this?

Mainly that you have no load balancing. Depending on how you assign DTUs to servers, you may also lose failover, when one server goes down.

If you do that, why do you still want the servers to form a failover group? You could simply set the servers up to be standalone.

Note that even with load balancing off, you don't bind a DTU to a fixed server. You only prevent load balancing when sessions start. If you use smartcards, then you can move a 'server A' DTU away from its server by inserting a smartcard, which has a session on server B.

Will replication be affected?


No.

Are there any other ways I can accomplish having the DTU's stick on a specific server and not load balance?


Use standalone servers.

There might be a way to achieve a similar effect by removing the -g option from your policy string using utpolicy. But I don't know if the resulting setup is still supported, if the servers are configured as a FOG. The web admin GUI does not even offer that as an option.
