Active/passive servers behind CSS

mohammedrafiq · ‎07-14-2008

Hi,

I have 2 servers behind CSS, instead of doing load lancing , we need to work both servers as active/passive mode, mean if active server down then only second sever will serve.We can not move servers from behind css.

Please advice if this can be possible.

you will need to use the "sorry server" feature in CSS to acheive that

Sample Config

!********* SERVICE *****************

service serverA

ip address x.x.x.1

active

service serverB

ip address x.x.x.2

active

!********** OWNER ****************

owner SYED

content EXAMPLE

vip address 1.1.1.1

port 80

protocol tcp

add service serverA

primarySorryServer ServerB

active

********************************

Thanks Iftekhar,

Would it work when both servers are locally attached to CSS or sorry server only works when 2nd server is remote.
