4.1.1 To allocate Web Server to different host
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.

The following table describes the settings used in the example.

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.
