Configuring load balancing

Use load balancing for distributing service requests from Rational ClearQuest Web clients across multiple WebSphere Application Server instances that are running ClearQuest Web server.
Important: WebSphere Application Server supports two types of load-balanced configurations: horizontal clustering and vertical clustering. A horizontal cluster comprises two or more physical computers. In contrast, a vertical cluster has cluster members on the same physical computer. Rational ClearQuest Web supports only horizontal clustering. In a WebSphere Application Server horizontal cluster configuration of ClearQuest Web, ClearQuest Web requests are distributed across all the load-balanced servers in the deployment. For more information about horizontal clustering, see the WebSphere Application Server Information Center (V8.0, V8.5).
For information about configuring simple load balancing by using a web server plug-in configuration file, see the following IBM WebSphere Application Server Information Center help topics:
For information about configuring load balancing by using the Load Balancer component of WebSphere Application Server Edge, see the next topics:
