VISULOX 4 Documentation

Gateway Session Balancing

VISULOX Gateway probes all VISULOX Portal Servers.

If one of these servers is not responding (stopped, Tomcat not working as expected, etc) or the VISULOX Portal is in maintenance mode, requests are handled by the remaining VISULOX Portals.

If no VISULOX Portal Server is availabe, the maintenance page is presented to the user.

visulox portal mode \ 
-set on|off|accepting|maintenance -all |
-server <node|fqdn>
-note test
visulox portal mode
    ----------------------------------------
    |   Node |  VISULOX Portal |     state |
    ----------------------------------------
    | vMPOL8 | mp-ol8.tbsol.de | accepting |
    ----------------------------------------
Offline/Maintance note:
  VISULOX Portal is in maintenance mode. Please retry later


This allows to disable acceptance of one or all VISULOX Portal Nodes.

If all nodes are in maintenance state, the VISULOX Gateway displays the maintenance page.

There is a default maintenance page on the VISULOX Gateways.

To get a maintenance design run (on each server):

visulox-gateway design


Use the following command:

visulox portal mode -set off -all -note "Text info Page"

Then get the design with:

visulox-gateway design

The text "Text info Page" is seen by the user.
