Configuration load balancing

FMS configuration is controlled through a primary configuration file (fmsmaster_fscid.xml) that is hosted by an FSC referred to as the primary or configuration FSC. You can also configure more than one primary or configuration FSC so that the additional FSCs load balance each other. Configuration load balancing allows the client or the FMS network to use any one of the FSC configuration servers in a rotating manner. Similar to other load balancing configurations in FMS, the priority attribute determines the load balancing configuration, such that all FSCs with the same priority value (such as 0) are considered balanced. Load balancing priority is configured in the assignedfsc element in the clientmap element. For example: Copy Note that in this context, the configuration FSC does not need not be the same as the bootstrap FSC specified using Fms_Bootstrap_Urls or similar mechanisms. If the bootstrap URL is indeed the same as the primary configuration FSC URL, to then achieve load balancing, you must also specify all of the relevant Primary FSC URLs in the bootstrap. If the bootstrap URL is not the Primary FSC URL (for example, if it is a reverse proxy URL), the load balancing will then work with the assignedfsc priority settings described here.
