How to create High Availability Port with  idc protocol ?

Purpose : Using balance software , HA port is created with idc protocol . So this will help to load balance idc port in clustered domain .

Steps :

1.Install balance

2.run balance command

Detailed Steps :

1. Download balance from : https://www.inlab.de/balance.html

wget : https://www.inlab.de/balance-3.56.tar.gz

gunzip balance-3.56.tar.gz

tar -xvf balance-3.56.tar.gz

2. Make and Install it

cd balance-3.56

[root@LB balance-3.56]# make

gcc -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wuninitialized -I. -c balance.c

balance.c: In function ‘stream’:

balance.c:910: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of ‘hash_fold’ differ in signedness

./balance.h:133: note: expected ‘char *’ but argument is of type ‘unsigned char *’

balance.c: In function ‘main’:

balance.c:1813: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of ‘hash_fold’ differ in signedness

./balance.h:133: note: expected ‘char *’ but argument is of type ‘unsigned char *’

gcc -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wuninitialized -I. -c butils.c

gcc -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wuninitialized -I. -o balance balance.o butils.o

[root@LB balance-3.56]# make install

install -o root -g root -m 755 balance \

/usr/sbin/balance

install -o root -g root -m 755 balance.1 \

/usr/sbin/../man/man1

install: cannot create regular file `/usr/sbin/../man/man1': No such file or directory

3.Verify by running balance commad

[root@myserver ~]balance

_ _

| |__ __ _| | __ _ _ __ ___ ___

| '_ \ / _` | |/ _` | '_ \ / __/ _ \

| |_) | (_| | | (_| | | | | (_| __/

|_.__/ \__,_|_|\__,_|_| |_|\___\___|

this is balance 3.56

4.Run the balance command with idc server

Example : balance -b ::ffff:<LB> -B <LBHOSTNAME> <LBPORT> <IP1:POR1> <IP2:PORT2>

[root@myserver ~]# netstat -anp | grep 4444

[root@LB ]# balance -b ::ffff:10.111.11.111 -B LBHOST 4444 10.111.11.121:4453 10.111.11.122:4997

[root@LB ]# netstat -anp | grep 4444

tcp 0 0 ::ffff:10.111.11.111:4444 :::* LISTEN 23705/balance

6. Verify it

Here for testing purpose I am connecting two different WCC servers , which is having different autoprefix and running CHECKIN_UNIVERSAL . Make sure that admin server should be up and running while connecting via idc protocol

url= 10.111.11.111:4444

[sterin@sterinlap test]$ java TestRIDCCheckin

dDocName is SOURCEFF001052

[sterin@sterinlap test]$ java TestRIDCCheckin

dDocName is STJACOBPC1IDCO001205

So It will connect in round robin fashion . If one server is down, then automatically connect to other one
