Add Multiple Policy Servers to the Host Configuration Object

An agent can access clusters of multiple Policy Servers. To set up agent connections and implement the failover or the round robin load-balancing methods, add a group of Policy Servers to a Host Configuration object.

Follow these steps:

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

    The Modify Host Configuration pane opens.

  3. Specify search criteria, and click Search.

    A list of Host Configuration objects that match the search criteria opens.

  4. Select a Host Configuration object, and click Select.

    The Modify Host Configuration: Name pane opens.

  5. Click Add on the Clusters group box.

    The Add Cluster dialog opens.

  6. Type the IP address and port number of the Policy Server that you are adding to the cluster in the Host and Port fields, respectively, on the Add Cluster dialog.

    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 to its right. To change the sequence of Policy Servers in the cluster, click the up and down arrows.

  7. Click OK.

    The cluster is added to the Clusters group box.

    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 on the Clusters group box, and repeat steps 6 and 7.

  8. Enter a failover threshold in the Failover Threshold Percent field.

    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.

  9. Click Submit.

    The Modify Host Configuration task is submitted for processing.
