186 Managing roaming clients
Implementing roaming
Loadbalance If you have multiple servers and want to distribute roaming
clients among them, you can load balance by treating roam
servers as equals regardless of how long it takes clients to
contact them. A roaming client will contact each server in the
list. Roaming servers keep a count of the Symantec AntiVirus
clients that they manage, and return this value to the roaming
client. The roaming client selects the server with the fewest
clients. This server becomes the roaming client's new parent
server. Load balancing has a higher priority than finding the
closest parent.
4 To specify load balancing among servers, use an equal sign (=) between the
servers.
For example:
MiamiSvr=AtlantaSvr=RichmondSvr
5 To specify failover servers, Use a greater than symbol (>) in the hierarchical
list of servers.
For example:
MiamiSvr>AtlantaSvr>RichmondSvr
6 Click OK.
