Sticky Load Balancing

Use sticky load balancing to stick application components associated with the same session to a single server process on a single NAS. Stick load balancing:

  • Maintains the integrity of session information for application components
  • Saves data to a local structure
  • Load balances the initial request
  • Sticks all subsequent requests for the same session to the same server process on the same NAS
To set the Sticky LB property from the NAS Administrator:
  1. Open the Application screen of the NAS Administrator tool.
  2. On the left side, click on the server where changes are needed and then select the group of cpplication components that need to be modified.
  3. In the Sticky LB column, mark the check box for the selected Application Component object. Use the Toggle Sticky LB button to enable sticky load balancing for all Application Components associated with the Application.
  4. Alternatively, click on the Toggle SLB button for the appropriate mode.
  5. Click Apply Changes.

Repeat these steps for each server participating in load balancing for the application components.
