    CCBoot Manual - Load Balance

    Uploaded by

    Hasnan Ibrahim
    This user manual describes how to configure CCBoot server software for load balancing client connections across multiple network interface cards (NICs) or servers. It provides instructions for setting the DHCP server IP to 0.0.0.0, auto-allocating boot servers, and adding the IP addresses for each NIC/server. When configured, clients will be load balanced across the NICs/servers with failover capability if the first is unavailable. It also describes copying configuration files between servers to synchronize settings for a multiple server load balancing setup.

    Load Balance 
     
       
    Single Server Multi NICs Load Balance 
    Let us suppose CCBoot Server has two network cards (IP is 192.168.1.200 and 192.168.1.201).
    We can make use of both NIC to boot the client and balance the load on both NIC hence clients
    performance is increased.
    1) Choose "DHCP Settings" tab in dialog box of "CCBoot Options", and choose "0.0.0.0"in
    combo box of "DHCP Server IP", then click "OK" button.

    Figure 11‑1
    2) Right-click "Client Manager" node on CCBoot main interface, then choose "Auto Allocate
    Boot Server".
     

    Figure 11‑2

    3) In popup dialog box of "Server List Settings", enter IP address for first network card of
    server, then click "Add" button, and then enter IP address for second network card, click "Add"
    button, and click "OK" button at last.
     

    Figure 11‑3

    4) Now, look in the client manager, you will see each client has not two boot server IPs
    separated by ‘;’ (See Figure 11-4).
    Figure 11‑4

    Notes:
    1) The first client PC will boot from IP "192.168.1.200" first and then
    2) The second client PC from server with IP"192.168.1.201".
    3) If first server is not available then the client will boot from second server.
    4) For one NIC, set getway and for other NICs setting IP is enough.
    If you have more than one Writeback disk then in newer version of CCBoot the writeback disks
    are allocated to the client automatic hence there is not “Auto allocate Writeback Disk” option
    available.
     
    Multiple Servers Load Balance 
    If there are two or several CCBoot servers (e.g. server A and server B), and IP for server A is
    192.168.1.200, and IP for server B is 192.168.1.201. The setting procedures are as below:
    1) Right-click "Client Manager" on main interfaces of CCBoot, and then click and choose "Auto
    Allocate Boot Server".

    Figure 11‑1

    2) Enter server IP address In popup dialog box of "Server List Settings", then click "Add"
    button and enter server IP address, then click "Add" button, and lastly click "OK" button.
     

    Figure 1‑2

    3) Open CCBoot installation directory of server A,and copy two files of "CCBoot.ini" and
    "db.xml" on a USB drive.
    4) Now, Go to Server B and copy the two files copied earlier to the CCBoot installation on
    server B,
    5) Once copied Restart the CCBoot Server Application to use the copied files.
    6) Now your two server will be In Load Balance setup.
    Notes:
    If you wish to use a load balance server then you need to have the same amount of client or at
    least have the amount or primary server user license so that second server can work as load
    balance server.
    You cannot use the same license on both server, in doing so your license may be locked or
    worse disabled.
    Notes:
    1) The first client PC will boot from IP"192.168.1.200" first and then
    2) The second client PC from server with IP "192.168.1.201".
    3) If first server is not available then the client will boot from second server.
    If you have more than one Writeback disk then in newer version of CCBoot the writeback disks
    are allocated to the client automatic hence there is not “Auto allocate Writeback Disk” option
    available.
    When you have multiple server, then you can easily sync your settings and images using our
    "Synchronize" function.
