5206.0. "Can UCX and Multinet Cluster load balance?" by VMSNET::K_DECOUX () Thu Feb 06 1997 14:41

Hi,
    
I've got a question for you guys and gals.

Customer has a cluster with both UCX and Multinet hosts.
He is transitioning to UCX.  Multinet currently load balances,
but will not include the UCX hosts in its algorithm.  The UCX
hosts were added just like the multinet hosts, but no users ever
get routed to the ucx hosts.  He called multinet, they say no can
do.  He called us.  I said no can do.  All cluster members must
run UCX.  Here's the question :

What can he do in the interim?  I know this is consulting, but
if there is really no way for him to do what he wants to do, then
it's a waste of time to generate a quote.

Anybody got any ideas?  Any freeware?  

Thanks in advance,

Karen

    Hi,
    
    I got the answer from one of my team mates.  They can set up and
    use round robin load balancing.
