SEP LoadBalancing with Alteon ?
Created: 11 Jan 2008 | Updated: 22 May 2010 | 5 comments
hello,
i'm looking for the right configuration of my servers in order to do this :
- loadbalancing of web ( http or https) requests done by the sep clients to 2 sep servers, done by Alteon.
- replication of SQL server in order to avoid loss of database if one fails.
I think i should install like this :
First server : SEP with remote sql server that point to the "third server"
Second server : SEP with remote sql that point to the "third" server too
Third server : SQL server
fourth server : SEP + SQL that is a "remote site for replication" ?
am i right ?
documentation does not talk about it , nor the kb ...
thank you in advance,
regards.

Yes your config you’d definitely accomplish what you want. Just few points for your consideration. Symantec has basically 4 recommended architectural designs Centralized, Distributed, Log replication, and High Availability. In the HA scenario there is really no need for a load balancer since it can be accomplished by simple DNS round robin but if you have one than why not use it. As for database HA, a clustered database would be my first choice and then replication for DR/loss of site. Veritas cluster server is a great way to cluster the database
Here is some info on the recommendations I found.
wow! nices slides !
in fact, our loadbalancer is hosting a "dns vip", so that , users does not know the real ip of our managements servers.
If i want to use the SEP replication, how it works if my "master sql server failed" ? i mean, my SEP servers know that they have to update/read from the "replication sql server" ? or it is a "manual" procedure that i have to do when i see my "sql master server" down ?
thx a lot for your answer, appreciate it.
hello,
thank you for your answer.
is is possible to get this "clustered db" using the native sql server clustering ? what are the other way to make the DB in high availability ? i mean, veritas is a big piece to accomplish i think!
regards
