Dojo
My aim is to;
- Have Dashboard gateways (DBGW) connect to the virtual IP of a DMS
- If one DBGW goes offline the other should be available.
How can I achieve this ?
We don’t have failover functionality build-in for DBGW setups.
However, it is perfectly possible to setup multiple DBGW(s) (each on a separate server), where they connect to the virtual IP of a DMA failover pair (or even to different DMAs). If a DMA goes down and there happens to be a failover switch, then the DBGW(s) will automatically connect with the online DMA.
If you have multiple DBGWs, then they each have their own IP, they do not have a single VIP. This can be achieved by putting them behind a load balancer, as the load balancer will provide a single IP to connect to the DBGW’s web interface. Just make sure you enable “sticky sessions” on the load balancer in case multiple DBGW servers are online simultaneously.
