Diskless Boot Software for Windows - CCBoot

How to implement load balance and redundancy

CCBoot supports multiple servers on a single LAN to implement load balance and redundancy.

Suppose
Server A - 192.168.1.1, takes E:\CCBootWrite-back as its "Write-back File Path".
Server B - 192.168.1.2, takes F:\CCBootWrite-back as its "Write-back File Path".

Go to Server A, open "Options" -> "Client Default Settings".
  • 1, Add 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 to "Server IP Address".


    Figure 1

  • 2, Add "E:\CCBootWrite-back" and "F:\CCBootWrite-back" to "Write-back File Path".


    Figure 2

  • 3, Click "Apply to All Clients". CCBoot will apply the client default settings to all existing clients. Now the clients' settings become as bellow.


    Figure 3

    Client1 will try to boot from 192.168.1.1 first, if failed, it will try to boot from 192.168.1.2. The write-back file path is E:\CCBootWrite-back.
    Client2's settings are different from Client1's.
    Notes: You need to add all clients before implement load balance and redundancy.
  • 4, Copy CCBoot.ini and AccInfo.ini from the Server A’s CCBoot installation folder to Server B’s. Open "Options" -> "DHCP Settings" on Server B. Select correct "DHCP Server IP". Restart CCBoot service on Server B.
  • 5, Now you will see that client1 connect to server A and client2 connect to server B. If you shutdown server A, client1 can still boot from server B.
