CMS clustering - Achieve Failover without using Apache LB

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I need your help on once scenario.

Environment details :

win2008 r2/ BI 4.1 sp03 /Tomcat/repository -SQL server

We have existing production system ( server 1 ) and now we are planning to implement CMS clustering to achieve load balancing and fail over functionality with second production system ( server 2 ). Also we have unique URL directed to server 1 for e.g. bi.domain.internal. This URL is provided to business users .We have index.html placed at tomcat\webapps\root folder .We are good till CMS level clustering but we do not want clustering at tomcat level.

We have also removed Apache LB part from our clustering project, but yes we want to achieve fail over functionality at tomcat level if server 1 tomcat goes down , requests should be redirect to server 2 tomcat.

can we achieve this by ??

1) redirecting bi.domain.internal to server 2 , - is it possible to create single CNAME to two different servers in cluster. So if server 1 tomcat goes down then business users could continue with server 2 tomcat.

Please help. If you require more information , please ask.

Thanks

You can use Hardware LB (F5) or Software LB (Tomcat clustering).
