[Version 5.0.2]Assigning weights to cluster members

Why and when to perform this task

To assist a server cluster in balancing the work loads of its cluster members, you can provide information about the weights assigned to cluster members on the Weight Advisor page.

Steps for this task

  1. Click Servers > Clusters in the console navigation tree and then Weight Advisor to go to the Weight Advisor page.
  2. Specify the source of weights assigned to cluster members. A server cluster uses the weights to balance the work loads of its cluster members.
    Specify Fixed Weight to use the static weight values assigned to cluster members.

    [Version 5.0.2]Specify WebSphere Dynamic Weighting to generate weights for cluster members dynamically based on performance information collected from cluster members. This option is only valid for routers based on IBM application servers or the Edge caching proxy server. This option does not work with standard Web servers or standard plug-in file configurations.

  3. Click OK.
  4. Click Save on the administrative console taskbar and save your administrative configuration.
