Install the Required Services for Load Balancing
Services include multiple ACE Management Server instances, an external database,
and Workstation.
To install the required services for load balancing
1
Install the ACE Management Server package on two or more machines (or virtual
machines).
See "Installing and Upgrading ACE Management Server" on page 26.
2
Configure each ACE Management Server separately to access the same external
database.
See "Start and Configure ACE Management Server" on page 33.
Both ACE Management Server installations must be able to identify the same data
store so either installation can field queries for clients and scale the number of
clients that can be served.
3
To verify that both ACE Management Server instances are working properly, start
Workstation and connect to each ACE Management Server directly:
a
In Workstation, choose File > Connect to ACE Management Server.
b
Enter the IP or host name of the machine where ACE Management Server is
installed, change the number in the Port field if necessary, and click OK.
The setup is successful if you can view the same data in the Instance View window
for each ACE Management Server instance. If you create a test ACE and preview
it, you see the preview instance on both servers.
Use the Same SSL Certificate on All Servers
For a load‐balancing solution, you can copy the SSL certificate and key from one ACE
Management Server to another.
C
This procedure directs you to upload both the certificate file (the .crt file)
AUTION
and the matching key file (the .key file). If you do not upload both, the Apache httpd
service on the second ACM Management Server might freeze. In this case, you must
uninstall and reinstall ACE Management Server.
