Equalizer can perform the same exchange automatically and verify the server’s response by checking the returned
data against an expected result.
Specifying an ACV probe string and an ACV response string basically automates the above exchange. Equalizer
uses the probe string to request data from each server. To verify the server’s content, Equalizer searches the
returned data for the response string. For example, you can use “GET /index.html” as the ACV probe string and
you can set the response string to some text, such as “Welcome” appears on the home page.
Similarly, if you have a Web server with a PHP application that accesses a database, you can use ACV to ensure
that all the components of the application are working. You could set up a PHP page called test.php that accesses
the database and returns a page containing “ALL OK” if there are no problems.
Then you would enter and ACV Query and an ACV Response String using either the CLI or GUI. :
If the page that is returned contains the correct response string in the first 1000 characters, including headers) the
server is marked “up”; if “ALL OK” were not present, the server is marked down.
The response string should be text that appears only in a valid response. This string is case-sensitive. An example
of a poorly chosen string would be “HTML”, since most web servers automatically generate error pages that
contain valid HTML.
For more information on probing, see "Active Content Verification (ACV) Probes" on page 373.
Server Pool Summary (GUI)
When you click on Server Pools from the left navigational pane on the GUI the Server Pool Summary screen
shown below will be displayed in the right frame. It displays the health checks defined for each configured server
pool, the server instances using the health checks, status icons and the option to add new health checks and the
ability to add new server pools as described in "Adding and Configuring a Server Pool (GUI)" on page 234.
For details on configuring health checks refer to "Configuring VLB Health Check Probe Parameters" on page 386.
Clicking on the icon will activate the shown on where you can add a new server pool to your Equalizer
configuration. This is the same as if you selected Add Server Pool to the Server Pool branch on the left
navigational pane.
Clicking on the icon while a server pool is selected will activate the
Server Pool Configuration Required
Screen
shown on where the server pool configuration parameters can be edited.
