For AX2000 or BS320, you can use direct connections using the telnet protocol as a connection method of the load balancer.

The following table describes the CLI commands of the load balancer that are executed by the Smart Composer functionality, when using ACOS (AX2000 or BS320) as a load balancer. For details on the CLI commands of ACOS, see the documents of the product in use.

#1

Execute the same CLI commands even if the virtual server is not initialized (when you specify -lb keepvs).

#2

If there is another service unit shared by the real server, do not execute the deletion for each server.

#3

If there is no other service unit shared by the real server, perform deletion for each server.

Reference note

For ACOS, use the virtual server name as the service group name and the template name.

For BIG-IP v9, BIG-IP v10.1, or BIG-IP v10.2, you can use direct connections that use the ssh protocol as a connection method for the load balancer. Note that for version 09-00 or later version, you can use direct connections that use APIs as connection methods of the load balancer.

If you directly connect by using the ssh protocol, you must set the client environment of the ssh on the host for deploying Management Server. The following points describe how to setup the ssh client environment for each OS:

• For Windows
  You must have the ssh client program on the host for deploying Management Server. The available ssh client program is the CLI commands of PuTTY. Obtain PuTTY beforehand and then install. Also, add the folder under the PuTTY installation folder that stores the plink command, to the system environment variable PATH. You can download PuTTY from the applicable page (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/).
  
• For UNIX
  When you use the ssh command for the first time, execute the query request of the connection confirmation.
  Connect to the load balancer by executing the ssh command, with the user having root permission and respond yes for the query request (Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? of the connection confirmation. When replying with yes, the ssh command can no longer execute the query request of the connection confirmation.
  

  Note

  In AIX, if you select the direct usage of ssh as the connection configuration with the load balancer, the ssh command is required. Obtain the software required for using the ssh command in advance.
