9. Enter the name of the virtual server (www.website.com) you created in step 2 in
the Website Alias field.
10. Enter the IP address of the LocalDirector box in the LocalDirector IP Address field.
11. Enter the port number on which each cluster member's agents should listen for
incoming LocalDirector connection requests in the DFP Agent Listen Port field.
Be sure to configure each cluster member to listen on the same port.
12. Enter how frequently you want ClusterCATS to update the LocalDirector with
availability data in the Update Frequency field.
The default interval is 30 seconds. You can lengthen it to 120 seconds, but do not
reduce the interval below 30 seconds.
13. Enter the port number on which each cluster member listens for HTTP requests in
the HTTP Port field. (Enter 0 if not applicable.)
14. Enter the port number on which each cluster member listens for secured HTTP
requests in the HTTPS Port field. (Enter 0 if not applicable.)
15. Enter the same Bind ID specified for the explicit (real) servers on the LocalDirector
box in the Bind ID field.
In order for the ClusterCATS/LocalDirector integration to work as intended, the
server name, port number, and bind ID combination must be the same on this
ClusterCATS Load Balance tab as it is on the LocalDirector box.
16. Click OK.
Once configured, ClusterCATS automatically sets the state of each cluster member to
Passive and provides the load balancing and high availability data it acquires to the
LocalDirector. The LocalDirector then actively manages HTTP traffic across the
cluster. If you want ClusterCATS to load balance as well, you must go into each cluster
member's Properties page and reset its state to Active. See "Changing a server's state"
on page 224.
To integrate ClusterCATS with a load balancing device other than LocalDirector
1. Configure the load balancing device or software product as recommended by the
manufacturer.
2. Open the ClusterCATS Explorer and select the cluster that you want to integrate
with the load balancing device or software product.
3. Choose Load from the Configure menu. Alternatively, you can right-click the
cluster and select Configure>Load.
The Properties dialog box appears with the Load Balance tab active.
