Configuring a Cluster of Web Application Servers

Cluster configuration varies widely between Web application server vendors. Consult your vendor's documentation for configuration instructions. Note, however, that you must deploy all the SAS Web applications to all nodes of the cluster. For a visual representation, see Scenario 3: Web Applications Deployed across a Web Application Server Cluster.

It is possible to configure a cluster that consists of just one node. You might set up a single-node cluster when your sole objective is to route browser requests to an HTTP server instead of to the Web application server. For this configuration, you set the address of the single-node cluster equal to the address of the HTTP server.
