A server that performs load balancing. Load balancing divides the work load among several computer systems. As a result, overall OMi performance and availability increases. OMi requires a load balancer in distributed deployments that include at least two gateway servers.
OMi load balancer provides two access points:
The Data Collections Virtual IP is the virtual hostname for the data collectors to access the gateway server. It must be used when configuring data collectors for communication with OMi.
The Users Virtual IP is the virtual hostname for accessing the OMi console (web interface), which is located on the gateway server. It is the hostname used by OMi users.
