wow! cool man ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO I SUB-VIEW-COMMENT-LIKE!

[vigneshbooma]

Good work !!

[minhson99]

thanks



[tcartwright]

Audio is horribly low.

[lzkanoO]

how did you so it appears web1 and web2???.... and the ip you put to the cluster, is a virtual ip that represents all severs of the cluster?

[eliotime3000]

Windows Classic Aero Style?!

I don't think so

[vibes992000]

Thanks .. It was helpful

[pixelr0]

mouse must die!

[Leahdizon888]

really good sound "click", "click", "click"

[CrazzyMike16]

i know why it took web1 at the cluster address "web"

because it picks the first name that is posible in the cluster.

if u got an downtime on server 1 than server 2 wil take it over and you wil get web2 if u type cluster address "web" again :P that what NLB is all about :D

[ghostmarine1000]

Would this increase computing power?

[randystech]

Yeah sorry about the clicking... I was using Camtasia. I didn't think it was that bad till after i uploaded it. I recently switched to ScreenFlow. New videos will be click free.

[dietrichian]

@randystech You just have to uncheck the mouse click in the recording options menu.

[electronicstash]

@randystech but i like that sound i think its my best sound on u tube LOL

[maio191]

That clicking is SUPER obnoxious :P Good tutorial nonetheless.

[esapplications]

randy I love your tutorials but you got to get that microphone away from your mouse... those clicks are freakin annoying!

[msourbes]

would it be similar with Windows Server 2003?

[randystech]

@msourbes yes similar. It is in the administrative tools. And just set up the cluster there.

[msourbes]

@randystech Thanks, I figured it out. My problem is that I can't access the website from my workstation using the cluster ip or name. Can't ping it either. It works fine from either web server that are part of the NLB Cluster, but not from anywhere else. Am I missing a step? I made a dns A record for my cluster. Thanks.

[CrazzyMike16]

so if i understand it correctly u have 2 WEB servers web1 + web2

installed NLB on both VPC's

and dan cluster them to an IP adres...

hmmm but how do you know which IP adres you can use as an Cluster adres?

i got my webserver 2 netword adapters

1st adres is linked to the internet(WAN)

and the 2nd is Local Networks(LAN)

another question:

I need an NLB cluster on the out port of my VPC's... so it gets requests from another computer outside my network

Do I have link to IP WAN or LAN

[randystech]

@CrazzyMike16 You can pick an IP address for the cluster as long as you make a dns A record pointing the cluster name to the ip address. Then point your router to port forward port 80 and 443 if ssl to the cluster ip. Then when requests come in the NLB will choose from either web1 or web2.

Im not sure exactly what you are asking on the second question.

[randystech]

Yes absolutley you can run a website with a mysql database and point both web1 and web2 to the same database server and they will share the load and database on a separate server.

[tuxinhisroom1]

would it be posible to runn a singular app on web1 and web 2 and use there combined resorses

[dionbosschieter]

Should i use NLB if i had 10.000 visitors a day?

The database/storage server and AD server are different machines.

[randystech]

It depends on how much your current server can handle. You would have to look into your specific model and OS and see what the user limit is per server. But personally i think yes just because the average server cannot handle that many requests.

[mcdowalla]

hey, so was the machine that you set the cluster up on another machin (a third?) or was it one of the servers that is also acting as a webserver?

[randystech]

No it was one of the web servers. Only two servers total web1 and web2 and the cluster is being referenced by web. When you install the load balancing feature it can be managed by any node in the cluster. In Linux there would be a third.
