Understanding Server Load Balancing

Stopping and Restarting Load-Balancing Servers

To start the load-balancing servers in your cluster, you can use SAS Management Console or you can restart your hosts, depending on your server configuration.

Be sure to restart all of the servers in a cluster after you add or delete servers.

When you stop a child peer, or if it fails, the parent peer continues to distribute SAS sessions to the remaining servers in the cluster, with no loss of service. You can restart the child peer at any time. In that case the parent peer simply adds the new child peer into its distribution of SAS sessions.

If the parent peer stops, the next server in the list becomes the parent peer. The new parent peer continues the distribution of SAS sessions without interruption.

When you restart the former parent peer, it restarts as a child peer. The new parent peer remains in that role until you restart that server.
