Before promoting a non-load-balanced organization to a load-balanced
organization, ensure that you fulfill the following requirements:
The
primary hosting server (resource) on which the non-load-balanced organization
is hosted, must be present in a load-balancing environment
with at least one more secondary hosting server. They can be connected
to the external network through a load-balancing software or hardware
device. You can locate this primary resource by
viewing the non-load-balanced organization's service
options
for the Windows Web Hosting service.
The Windows Web Hosting
service's hosting server installer, WVHServerInstaller.exe,
must be installed on all the secondary hosting servers in the load-balancing
setup. For installation instructions, see the service's latest installation
and upgrade guide.
Ensure that in the
primary resource's service options for the Windows Web Hosting service,
IIS Web Service is present and enabled.
The primary resource's
configuration must be changed to enable load balancing. For
instructions, see Changing existing
resource's options. If you are allowed to create load-balanced
organizations, please contact your service provider for converting the
resources assigned to you into load-balanced resources.
The non-load-balanced
organization must have its data already stored
on the NAS server. You can verify this by viewing
the organization's service options
for the Windows Web Hosting service.
Important:
An organization can have load-balanced Windows Web Hosting service only if its data is stored on the NAS server.
