In a system where the Web Server is allocated to a different host, the performance is improved by separating the host, for allocating static contents such as HTML file from the host executing business applications.

In the Smart Composer functionality, set up the system by using commands from the Easy Setup definition file for defining the environment settings of the logical server, the host (http-tier) for allocating the Web Server, and the host (j2ee-tier) for allocating the J2EE server. In the management portal, set up the system by allocating a logical server (such as Web Server, the J2EE server) to the respective hosts, and by deploying the settings of each logical server to the host.

System configuration example

The following figure shows an example of the system setup where the Web Server is allocated to a different host. Note that in this system the Management Server, serving as the Management functionality, is allocated to the host for allocating the J2EE server. Also, in the following Setup example, the network is a single setup (configuration that does not separate Workstation LAN and Management LAN), and each host uses one physical NIC.

Figure 4-1 System configuration example of a system that allocates Web Server to a different host.

The following table describes the settings used in the example.

Table 4-1 Settings used in the example (Setup of the system where the Web Server is allocated to a different host)

Classification	Item	Set up example
Host for allocating the Web Server	Host name	apsv1
	IP Address (Management IP address)#1	192.168.100.11
	Name of the logical Web Server	MyWebSystem_HTTP01
	Name of the logical performance tracer	MyWebSystem_PRF01
Host for allocating the J2EE server#2	Host name	apsv2
	IP Address (Management IP address)#1	192.168.100.12
	Name of the logical J2EE server	MyWebSystem_J2EE01
	Name of the logical performance tracer	MyWebSystem_PRF02
	File name of J2EE applications	MyApp.ear
	Display name of J2EE applications	MyApp
	Management user ID of the management functionality	cosmi_admin
	Management user password of the Management functionality	cosmi_admin_passwd

#1

For unit configuration of the network, the IP address serves as both the activity IP address and the management IP address.

#2

The Management functionality (Management Server) is allocated to the host for allocating the J2EE Server.

Tasks to be implemented and their necessity

The following table describes the tasks to be implemented for setting up the system in which the Web Server is allocated to a different host, and the necessity of these tasks, for every set up tool used.
