I tried to reply to Susan's topic but looks like it is very old. Anyway I have Load balancing working in WEBi. My configuration is this WAS 7.0.23 (Base) not WAS ND and WEBi 1.0.4.4 on AIX 6.1. You have lot more options to load balance with WAS ND but licensing is different between the WAS Base which comes in as a bundle with CMOD.
These are the steps,
1. Install WAS Base and apply the fix packs on Server A
2. Install WAS Base and apply the fix packs on Server B
3. Create one dedicated Application profile and install WEBi on Server A
4. Create one dedicated Application profile and install WEBi on Server B
5. We used Cisco ace load balancing device. So the key is to load balance the traffic on the port on which WEBi is running. You can find this from the WEBi.htm for http or from the profile properties for the SSL port.
6. The key peice is then making sure the routes in your server on Aix route the traffic from the server send it back via the default route to the load balancer.
A note there is no fail over capability in WEBi as per IBM support. For example if you have two servers running and one of them goes down, the user session will not be persistent. You have to relogin again.
