Buttons

Button

Description

Load balancer

Designate AOS as a load balancer. If you select this option, the load-balancer AOS instance is dedicated to distributing the user load. The AOS instance will not process Microsoft Dynamics AX business logic or data. A cluster that contains a load-balancer AOS instance must also contain at least one AOS instance that is not a load balancer.

Caution

If you select this option, you must set client configurations to connect to the load-balancer AOS instance. You can then add and remove other AOS instances from the cluster without updating client configurations.

Fields

Field

Description

Cluster name

Enter a name for the cluster.

AOS instances count

Cluster description

If the cluster is serving a particular function, such as Enterprise Portal or batch processing, enter a description of the function.

AOS instance name

The name of the AOS instance.
