Partitions with Enable/Disable
|
|
To partition an application, divide up the application components that make up an application. Application components are then hosted by separate NAS machines. Partitioning applications allows the type of processing each NAS machine performs to be specialized.
Parts of the application are hosted on different NAS. Each server knows on which other servers the application component objects of the application are hosted and forwards requests to the appropriate server.
To partition an application, perform the following steps:
Deploy the components to two or more NAS machines and enable load balancing among the servers that the application is going to be partitioned across. There is an option to disable the deployed application components when deploying the application. Use this option when there are more components to be disabled than enabled. Go back later and enable the components hosted on the new server or servers.
If the application is already hosted on multiple servers, disable the appropriate components on each server to partition the application.
To set the Enabled/Disabled property from the NAS Administrator:
