About load-balanced installation
A load-balanced installation has a single database server and database, but multiple instances of the web site and Windows service. This configuration provides load balancing and redundancy.
You can run the installation on any web server or application server. The installation process copies all of the required files onto the server.
When you create a load-balanced installation, all configuration files on each web server should keep consistent. That means all servers need the same application key, same connection strings, and so on. To achieve this consistency, you must install NetBackup Self Service on each web server without regard for load balance. Then copy first server's configuration and paste it to all other servers with the NetBackup Self Service command tools. Use the steps that are shown for this configuration:
For a load-balanced installation
- Run a new install on each web server. For the database name option, use the same name as the original server, but add a trailing number.
- On the original server, open the command prompt window and run the command shown. This command prints the configuration as a string. Copy the string and paste it on all the other servers.
install_directory\Veritas\NetBackup Self Service 10.3\Install Files\nsscmd.exe -getconfig
- On the other servers, open the command prompt window and run the command shown.
install_directory\Veritas\NetBackup Self Service 10.3\Install Files\nsscmd.exe -setconfig configuration string from the original web server
This command pastes the configuration from the original web server to the new server. The new web server is now connected to same database as the original server.
- Delete any unused databases the installation process created on the new web servers.
