Prerequisites for Setting Up Load Balancing

Before configuring your load balancer, you must:

• Install a web server.

• Install the load balancer plug-in.

  For information on the installation procedure, see the Sun Java System Application Server Installation Guide (if using the stand-alone Application Server) or the Sun Java Enterprise System Installation Guide (if using Java Enterprise System).

• Configure the web server. For more information, see Configuring Web Servers for Load Balancing

• Create Application Server clusters or server instances to participate in load balancing.

• Deploy applications to these clusters or instances.
