Generic server cluster members
After defining the generic server cluster name, use this page to define the members of the cluster. To view this console page, click Servers > Clusters > Generic server clusters > cluster_name > ports > host.
After completing this task, we can create a URI group and then define routing rules.
We can edit generic server cluster member field settings on the Configuration tab.
Host
The host name is either an IP address or the qualified host name of the cluster member.
Specify a valid host name.
Port
Enter the port on which the host name is listening. This entry ensures that the proxy server can communicate with the cluster member.
Specify a valid port number.
Weight
The load balancing weight is used to determine how frequently the cluster member is routed, relative to the other members in the group. The higher the weight the more frequently the cluster member is routed to. The dynamic workload manager (DWLM) controller is enabled by default, which calculates weight automatically. When the DWLM is enabled, the calculated weight is used instead of the configured weight.
To disable the DWLM controller for a generic server cluster, the enable.dwlm=false custom property needs to be set for the generic server cluster. Once the DWLM controller is disabled, the configured weight will then be used.
The recommended weight value is between 1 and 20. A value of 0 will result in a cluster member that will never be routed to.
