This article is for CCBoot v2.1 only. For CCBoot v3.0, please refer to "Load Balance" in wiki.

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.
