For Limerick, who's running the new IBM Network Dispatcher code, the commands are dscontrol manager report (10.225.49.11) dscontrol server down 10.225.49.11:3700:ddb2 dscontrol cluster set 10.225.49.11 staletimeout 2592000 (also .12-.15) dscontrol port status www2x:443 IBM's "Load Balancer Administration Guide" is online at http://www-306.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/doc/v51/ec/infocenter/edge/LBguide.htm The Network Dispatcher is now packaged in filesets starting with ibmlb, which evidently stands for IBM Load Balancer. The code resides in /opt/ibm/edge/lb and principally in, /opt/ibm/edge/lb/servers/bin. The alias commands need to be On the ND: ifconfig en0 delete 10.225.49.11 ifconfig en2 alias 10.225.49.11 netmask 255.255.252.0 ifconfig en0 alias 172.16.49.11 netmask 255.255.252.0 On each server: ifconfig lo0 delete 10.225.49.11 ifconfig lo0 alias 10.225.49.11 netmask 255.255.255.255 ifconfig lo0 alias 172.16.49.11 netmask 255.255.255.255 On some systems, I don't know for sure, you may need to delete routes when deleting aliases, e.g. route delete 10.225.49.11 10.225.49.11 but I've never really come across when/where this bad route was there. That's what the book says. ======================================================================= OO L DD SS TTTTT U U FFFF FFFF Pre-Y2K O O L D D S T U U F F O O L D D SS T U U FFF FFF O O L D D S T U U F F OO LLLL DD SS T U F F Some Network Dispatcher commands, ndcontrol cluster status 204.146.135.160 ndcontrol server down 204.146.135.160:80:192.168.56.16 ndcontrol server up 204.146.135.160:80:192.168.56.16 Additionally, there's ndcontrol server delete 204.146.135.160:80:192.168.56.16 ndcontrol server add 204.146.135.160:80:192.168.56.16 You can do this to (probably) "fix" the high "Active:" count problem when you do a ndcontrol cluster status. ----------------------------------------------------------- Web pages are at .../nd.html or the online docs are at http://www-4.ibm.com/software/webservers/perfpack/resourcesend.html which showed the PDF is at http://www-4.ibm.com/software/webservers/perfpack/assets/nduser.pdf Page 63 of the book (pg 79 of the PDF file) is where it said If you are not using the Dispatcher's wide area support, a Dispatcher configuration requires that the Dispatcher machine and its servers all be attached to the same LAN segment. Their "wide area support" refers to a ND dispatching to another ND, then to servers. ----------------------------------------------------------- There're ND log files in the /usr/lpp/eND/dispatcher/logs directory, which I've got linked over to /var/adm/sng. I've also got these lines in my /etc/eND/ind_setup_cluster to control the log file, # The old version of ND kept a log file in /tmp/manager.log, but # this version defaults to /usr/lpp/eND/dispatcher/logs/manager.log, # which can (and did) easily fill up poor /usr. I moved it to the # firewall logging, 1GB filesystem, and limit it's size to 1MB, # keeping a backup copy as well.
