I have two tier system.
WebSphere Application Server.
The first tier is called “Web” but is a regular ApplicationServer Cluster.
The second tier is called “App” and is a regular ApplicationServer Cluster.
I invoke some EJBs using rmi:iiop:
but the distribution of requests in the App isn’t even.
I would like to have the effect of a load balancer.
Is that possible?
By the way, I don’t have weights (other than default == 2), so I don’t understand why a certain App server is given most of the requests.
Thank you.
Here you can find a very nice presentation about this issue:
Workload Management (WLM) Overview and Problem Determination
What you see is probably due to “Prefer Local” which sends the request to the server resides on the same hostname.
Usually its a good idea but you can turn it off of course.
