Requirements for HTTP Load Balancing
You must meet the following requirements before you can use the load balancer plug-in for HTTP requests:
- Sun Java System Application Server Enterprise Edition is installed.
- A web server is installed.
- The Application Server is configured.
- Application Server instances or clusters participating in load balancing are created.
- Applications are deployed to all Application Server instances or clusters participating in load balancing.
- Server instances and clusters participating in load balancing must have a homogenous environment. Usually that means that the server instances reference the same server configuration and have the same applications deployed to them.
Load balancing configuration is extremely flexible:
- Each load balancer configuration can have multiple load balancers associated with it, though each load balancer has only one load balancer configuration.
- A load balancer services only one domain, though a domain can have multiple load balancers associated with it.
