Add a backup
- Right-click the High Availability icon.
- Select Add High Availability Backup.
The High Availability feature involves the
use of a second Load Balancer machine. The first Load Balancer machine performs load balancing for
all client traffic as it would in a single Load Balancer configuration. The second Load Balancer
machine monitors the health of the first and takes over the task of load balancing if it
detects that the first Load Balancer machine failed.
Note: Ensure that both Load Balancer machines are running the same version. Do not
add a backup Load Balancer machine that is running a different version of Load Balancer from the version
that is installed on the primary Load Balancer machine.
- In the dialog box, type the port number for the heartbeat messages.
- Select a role:
- Primary: sends connection data to the backup machine on an ongoing basis.
- Backup: machine is in a standby state, continually updated and ready to take over.
- Select an Auto or Manual recovery strategy.
- Type an initial heartbeat source address.
- Type an initial heartbeat destination address.
- Click OK.
