Attributes on the Performance tab are used to specify the following load balancing settings:
The method for selecting the SGD server used to host the application session
The method for selecting the application server used to host the application
From the command line, use the Section D.17, “tarantella config list” command to list these settings, and the Section D.16, “tarantella config edit” command to edit these settings.
Changes to these attributes take effect immediately.
Usage: Choose an option.
Description
The algorithm used at application start time to choose the SGD server in the array that hosts the application session. In other words, the method used to choose where to run the Protocol Engine when a user starts an application.
Select the Server Hosting the User Session option to choose the SGD server in the array that is hosting the user session.
Command Line
Command option:
--sessions-loadbalancing-algorithm
algorithm
Usage: Replace
algorithm with the load balancing
algorithm to use for application sessions.
The following algorithms are available:
Server Hosting the User Session –
.../_beans/com.sco.tta.server.loadbalancing.tier2.LocalLoadBalancingPolicyLeast CPU Usage –
.../_beans/com.sco.tta.server.loadbalancing.tier2.CpuLoadBalancingPolicyFewest Application Sessions –
.../_beans/com.sco.tta.server.loadbalancing.tier2.SessionLoadBalancingPolicy
The following example specifies that the SGD server hosting the user session is used to host the application session.
--sessions-loadbalancing-algorithm \ .../_beans/com.sco.tta.server.loadbalancing.tier2.LocalLoadBalancingPolicy
Usage: Select an option.
Description
The default algorithm SGD uses to choose the best application server to run the application. The server is selected from those defined on the application object's Hosting Application Servers tab.
This attribute is only used if the value of the application object's Section C.2.5, “Application Load Balancing” attribute is not set to Override Global Setting.
Select one of the following settings:
Most Free Memory. Choose the application server with the most free virtual memory.
Least CPU Usage. Choose the application server with the most CPU idle time.
Fewest Applications. Choose the application server that is running the fewest application sessions through SGD. This is the default setting.
To use the Most Free Memory and Least CPU Usage algorithms, you must install the SGD Enhancement Module on the application server.
Command Line
Command option:
--launch-loadbalancing-algorithm cpu | memory |
sessions
Usage: Specify a valid option.
In the following example, the application server with the fewest application sessions is used to run the application.
--launch-loadbalancing-algorithm sessions
