Load Balancing and High Availability

After all the servers for the location are entered you have to determine, when the ixi-UMS MDS transfers messages to these ixi-UMS Kernels. With the setting under "Rotate" it can be determined whether load balancing and/or fail-safe should be used

 

Example: Three servers are assigned to the location "Germany"

 

Rotate

 

Rotate: 1

All the messages for this location are transferred to the server "Berlin", because it is on top of the list. If this Kernel is not available, all the messages are sent to the Kernel "Hamburg", which is in second place. If neither of these Kernels is available, the third in the list (Kernel "Wien") is addressed.

Rotate: 2

The messages for this location are sent to the first (Berlin) and to the second (Hamburg) server in the list alternatively.

There are always so many messages transferred to the server as stated at "File Transfer", then the other server is addressed.

If none of both the servers is available, the server Wien is used.

Rotate: 3

All the messages for this location are sent to the three servers entered in the list alternatively.

 

The order of the servers can be changed via the arrows.

Even if a server is never set up for the sending directly (standby), its directories are checked for incoming messages.
