This procedure describes how to configure affinity between a client connection and a data source.
You can use DSCC to perform this task. For information, see Directory Service Control Center Interface and the DSCC online help.
View the current load balancing algorithm by viewing the properties of the data source pool.
$ dpconf get-ldap-data-source-pool-prop -h host -p port pool-name |
The default properties of a data source pool are as follows:
client-affinity-policy : write-affinity-after-write client-affinity-timeout : 20s description : - enable-client-affinity : false load-balancing-algorithm : proportional |
These parameters configure client affinity: client-affinity-policy, client-affinity-timeout, and enable-client-affinity. For a description of the properties and a list of their valid values, type:
dpconf help-properties ldap-data-source-pool client-affinity-policy \ client-affinity-timeout enable-client-affinity |
For more information about the properties, see these man pages: client-affinity-policy(5dpconf), client-affinity-timeout(5dpconf), and enable-client-affinity(5dpconf).
Enable client affinity.
$ dpconf set-ldap-data-source-pool-prop -h host -p port pool-name \ enable-client-affinity:true |
Select a policy for client affinity.
$ dpconf set-ldap-data-source-pool-prop -h host -p port pool-name \ client-affinity-policy:selected-policy |
where selected-policy is one of the following:
Affinity for write requests after the first write request
Affinity for all requests after the first write request
Affinity for all requests after the first read request or write request
Affinity for the first read request after a write request
Configure the duration of the client affinity.
$ dpconf set-ldap-data-source-pool-prop -h host -p port pool-name \ client-affinity-timeout:time-out[unit] |
The default unit for timeout is milliseconds.
