In order for traffic to be distributed between two or more
cells, the HTTP server which fronts the ODRs must be configured to
route to the ODRs in all cells.
About this task
The HTTP server which fronts the ODRs must be configured
to route to the ODRs in all cells.
Procedure
- Generate a new plugin-cfg.xml file for each of the involved
cells. Following are the two options for doing this:
- Generate the plug-in configuration in a high availability
environment. This ensures that, despite the other processes available,
the configuration is always generated by one process in the cell.
See Generating the plug-in configuration in a high availability
environment
for details.
- Automatically generate the plugin using an ODR in the
cell. You must override the default attributes and ensure that they
are all on cell-wide scope. See Configuring an on demand router to dynamically update the Web
server plug-in configuration
for details.
- Merge the plugin-cfg.xml files into one plugin-cfg.xml
file by using the plug-in tool merge tool. See the pluginMergebat|.sh script
topic to learn how to
use the tool.
- Install the new plugin-cfg.xml on the IBM HTTP Server.
See Configuring custom HTTP servers
for details.
