Hello, I am researching the best way to load balance our FIM Service infrastructure and I wanted to get some advice from others who have been down this road. Here is our current set up and what we are trying to to achieve:
- We currently have two FIM Service machines in place that share a FIM Service DB and use the same AD FIM Service account
- Machine one has a FIM service address of fimservice.acme.com (FQN= myfirstmachine.acme.com)
- The second machine has a FIM service address of fimserviceOther.acme.com (FQN-mysecondmachine.acme.com)
- Each FIM service has its own partition
- Our goal is to load balance the two FIM services under one address as fimservice.acme.com. The NLB would route traffic to the original fimservice.acme.com instance as well as the fimserviceOther.acme.com instance.
- Under this scenario, are there any changes that we need to make to our environment? Or will simply setting up the VIP with an address of fimservice.acme.com suffice and then just have the two nodes as myfirstmachine.acme.com and mysecondmachine.acme.com work?
- Are there any changes that we need to make to the FIM partition or is keeping them separate as they currently are ok?
Cheers!
