Creating a proxy server cluster
A proxy server cluster consists of a group of proxy servers. You can use either the wsadmin tool, or the administrative console to create a cluster of proxy servers that can route requests to applications in a cell.
Before you begin
Member proxy servers in a proxy cluster can be created on any node in a cell and share the same proxy configuration. Before you define your proxy server cluster:
- Determine whether a domain name server (DNS), a load balancer, or a proxy server is going to be used to route requests to the proxy server cluster.
- Verify that Version 8.5 of the product is installed on the nodes that will belong to the proxy server cluster.
The main reason for creating a proxy cluster is to make it easier to administer multiple proxy servers. For example, if your proxy servers are members of a proxy server cluster, you can specify configuration settings for that proxy server cluster, and the settings are automatically applied to all of the proxy servers in that cluster. Creating a proxy server cluster also enables you to simultaneously start and stop all of the proxy servers in that cluster.
