8.6.1 Configuring load balancer connection information with Virtual Server Manager
To configure load balancer access with Virtual Server Manager, set the connection information in the load balancer access setup property file (LB-connection-distinguished-name.properties) on the server machine that is used for virtual-system management. The file name represented by LB-connection-distinguished-name should be a string of 31 or fewer characters starting with a single-byte alphabetic character. It can include alphanumeric characters, underscores (_), and hyphens (-).
Below are examples of configuring the connection information for the load balancers BIG-IP v9 (lb_BIG-IPv9.properties) and AX2500 (lb_AX2500.properties) for direct access through an API.
- BIG-IP v9 (lb_BIG-IPv9.properties)
lb.type=BIG-IPv9 lb.host=192.168.2.14 lb.protocol=API lb.port=443 lb.user=user01 lb.password=user01pw lb.timeout=10
- AX2500 (lb_AX2500.properties)
lb.type=ACOS lb.host=192.168.2.13 lb.protocol=API lb.port=443 lb.user=user01 lb.password=user01pw lb.persistence.cookie-insert.templatename=VMI_COOKIE_TEMPNAME lb.timeout=10 javax.net.ssl.trustStore=C:\\work\\ACOS.keystore javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=keystore_pass
To use the load balancer connection information above, specify LB-connection-distinguished-name for the lb.use key in the property file (tier.properties) for each tier. For the configuration examples above, enter lb_BIG-IPv9 to use BIG-IP v9 and lb_AX2500 to use AX2500.
