Configuring an HTTP Load Balancer on the DAS
In Application Server 9.1, you can create a load balancer configuration
on the DAS using the Admin Console or the asadmin command
create-http-lb. The following steps explain how you to
do that. If you want more information about the asadmin commands create-http-lb, delete-http-lb, and list-http-lbs,
see Sun Java System Application Server 9.1 Reference Manual.
In the Admin Console, scroll down the left frame, click the HTTP Load
Balancers node and then in the HTTP Load balancers page on the right, click
New. In the New HTTP Load Balancer page, provide the following details of
the machine hosting the load balancer.
