11.3 Configure Load Balancer High Availability

In this section we explain how to configure High Availability for the MAC forwarding scenario, but we also point out which settings are different for NAT forwarding.

We assume that one of the scenarios is already set up, and that the backup Load Balancer is installed identically to the primary server, as described in 8.6, Install Load Balancer, in the base installation chapter.

The step-by-step configuration instructions are based on the instructions in 5.3, "Load Balancer: High Availability scenario," in WebSphere Application Server V6 Scalability and Performance Handbook, SG24-6392, which we adapted for load balancing a WebSphere Commerce instance.
