[AIX server] Finding IP floating

trung1490 · 11-19-2014, 02:52 AM

Hi all

I have 2 server AIX and my task is create a floating IP for 2 AIX server. I am finding a solution like Keepalived in linux to do this.

Can anyone have experience with AIX give me some advice about the third party software which can do this task in AIX platform?

Best regards,
Trung

Have you thought of putting an appliance in front of your AIX servers and let it act as a load balancer?
I've never actually seen a load balancer installed ON a web server, it normally goes on a router.
If one of the two servers is accepting all connnections and passing half of them on to a second AIX server, you're not really benefiting as much as you could from load balancing.
