Configure Basic Communication

You can configure a load balancer for basic communication with the nodes of the Domain Orchestrator or other Orchestrator.

Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the following folder:

   apache_install_dir\conf 
   

   This folder contains worker.properties and mod-jk.conf.

2. Open the workers.properties file.
3. Add the first node by defining node1 that begins with the following line:

   worker.node1.host=<Enter node1 hostname here>
   

4. From this line, replace the Enter node1 hostname here placeholder for worker.node1.host with the valid value.

   Note: The valid values are the IP address, the FQDN, or the DNS alias that resolves to the host where you are installing the initial Domain Orchestrator node. The valid value is the same value that is used for “Server Host” when installing the Domain Orchestrator.

5. Save and close the worker.properties file.
6. Open the mod-jk.conf file.
7. Uncomment the following line:

   # JkMountFile conf/uriworkermap.properties  
   

8. Save and close the mod-jk.conf file.
9. Open the httpd.conf file.
10. Add the following entry at the end of httpd.conf file:

    #Load balancing module
    Include conf/mod-jk.conf
    

11. Save and close the httpd.conf file.
