Configuring a cluster with multiple points of entry
Follow the steps below to configure a cluster with multiple points of entry.
1. During the installation, provide the IP address of the designated DNS that will act as a network point of entry.
If you missed this point during the installation, you can either reinstall the application or edit the HTML pages.
2. Add multiple cluster service entries in Host Access Manager.
3. Add multiple server entries in Host Access Manager.
Notes
For the initial load balancing, you can use either a DNS server or any other IP load balancing device or solution (such as Microsoft Windows Load Balancing Service - WLBS). In all cases, the DNS (or other device) must have the following mappings of IP addresses on the external interface:
•  One IP address, or name, to act as the single virtual point of entry. Users accessing this IP address, or name, will be subject to round-robin load balancing.
•  One IP address, or name, per server (machine running one set of emulation services). Each of these IP addresses will be mapped directly to one of the server addresses. These IP addresses, or DNS names, must match the configuration made in the cluster configuration for the server public name or IP address.
