Clustering : Managing console configurations and load balancing : Using multiple console installations
 
Using multiple console installations
You can have multiple console installations in a cluster. The proxies maintain the session stickiness and distribute requests to the available installations of iHub consoles. The load balancer that iHub uses in this scenario does not have to support session stickiness.
Figure 9‑21 illustrates a configuration with multiple installations of iHub consoles.
To set up this configuration, complete the following tasks in this order:
*Install the cluster, with the integrated consoles.
*Deploy the Actuate or third-party proxy on different machines than those where you installed iHub consoles.
*Configure the proxy with the list of available nodes with iHub consoles.
If you remove a node from a cluster, install the consoles for that iHub if they are not already installed.
