Cluster - Field Help
Configuration Settings
Edit the configuration setting on the cluster
Configuration Settings tab, and then click Update Configuration.
- Default port weight bound
- The default weight bound for all future ports on this cluster.
You can override this value on a per-port basis. The valid range is 1-to-10;
the default value is 10.
Current Statistics
- Cluster address
- The dotted decimal IP address of this cluster.
Proportions
The following proportions of importance are given to each of these external
factors, used by the manager to make weighting decisions.
Note: The weight of
active connections, plus the weight of new connections, plus the weight
of the advisor information, plus the weight of the system monitoring
program information must total 100.
- Proportion given to active connections
-
A number from 0-to-100 representing the proportion of weight given
to the active connections. The default is 50.
Active connections is the number of active connections on each load-balanced
server machine, as tracked by the Cisco CSS Switch.
The number of active connections is dependent upon the number of clients,
as well as the length of time necessary to use the services that are
provided by the load-balanced server machines.
- Proportion given to new connections
- A number from 0-to-100 representing the proportion of weight given to
the new connections. The default is 50.
New connections is the number of new connections on each load-balanced
server machine, as tracked by the Cisco CSS Switch.
- Proportion given specific to the port
- A number from 0-to-100 representing the proportion of weight given to the
information coming from an advisor about a port. The default value is 0.
- Proportion given to system metrics
- A number from 0-to-100 representing the proportion of weight given
to the information from the system metrics. The default value is 0.
- Sum of Proportions (must be 100)
- The sum of the above proportions. The total must equal 100.
- List of system metrics
- Current list of metric values and their proportions
Notes:
- You can change the relative proportion of importance to the manager of
the four values; however, the sum must equal 100. The default ratio is
50/50/0/0, which ignores the advisor and system information. Try different
proportions to find the combination that provides the best performance.
- Avoid setting the active connections and new connections proportions
too low. You will disable Cisco Consultant's load balancing and smoothing
unless these values are set to at least 20 each.
Lists
- List of Ports
- The port number shows port numbers that are currently active and the number of
servers shows those that are currently active.
To remove a port, highlight the port in the list and click Remove.
