Add Multiple Policy Servers to the Host Configuration Object

A trusted host can access multiple Policy Servers. To set up trusted host connections and failover or round robin operation, add the Policy Servers to a Host Configuration object.

Note: If you are using a hardware load balancer to expose Policy Servers as multiple virtual IP addresses (VIPs), we recommend that you configure those VIPs in a failover configuration. Round robin load balancing is redundant as the hardware load balancer performs the same function more efficiently.

Note: The following procedure assumes that you are creating an object. You can also copy the properties of an existing object to create an object.

To add a Policy Server to a Host Configuration object

1. Click Infrastructure, Hosts
2. Click Host Configuration Objects.

   The Host Configuration Objects page appears.

3. Click Create Host Configuration and then click OK.

   The Create Host Configuration page appears.

   Note: By default, the Create a new object of type Host Configuration option is selected.

   Note: Click Help for descriptions of settings and controls, including their respective requirements and limits.

4. Type the name and a description of the Host Configuration object.
5. Specify the Host Configuration settings.
6. In the Clusters group box, click Add.

   The Add Cluster page appears.

7. Type the IP address and port number of the Policy Server that you want to add to the cluster.

   Note: To add another Policy Server to the cluster, click Add to Cluster. To delete a Policy Server from the cluster, click the minus sign next to Port. To change the sequence of Policy Servers in the cluster, click the up and down arrows.

8. Click OK.

   The cluster is added.

   Note: To modify a cluster, click the right-facing arrow to its left. To delete a cluster, click the minus sign to its right. To add another cluster, click Add under Clusters, and repeat steps 6 and 7.

9. Enter the percentage of failover threshold.

   Note: If the percentage of active servers in a cluster falls below the specified percentage, the cluster fails over to the next available cluster in the cluster list.

10. Click Submit.

    The Host Configuration Object is updated with Policy Server details.
