Title: CMOD SOCKD Load Balancing in z/OS
Post by: LizetteKoehler on November 22, 2017, 01:38:49 PM
cmod 9.5 on z/os v2.1

New to CMOD and architecture/configuration. 

I am wondering if there is a way to do the following

Using the following configuration:  3 LPARS in a SYSPLEX
Running SockD on each lpar as ARSSOCK1/ARSSOCK2/ARSSOCK3

Is there a way to do "load balancing" so that when USERA comes in - if ARSSOCK1 is not busy then it goes to ARSSOCK1
If USERB comes in And ARSSOCK1 is busy - magically goes to ARSSOCK3
and so on

Or if LPAR1 goes away for maintenance, the magic happens and connects users to active ARSSOCKx tasks?

Any way to do this in z/OS with WLM or VTAM EE/Generic Resources etc?

I would like to give my users a generic VIPA name like CMODPRD and then let magic happen as to which ARSSOCKD it comes in through

We have  DB2 Sharing environment on only one DB2 table (so far).  So the less information my users need, for example, Set up your Server to LPAR1 or LPAR2 or LPAR3 with this Port number, the better.

Thank you

Lizette

Search for 'sysplex' (in the top right hand corner of the page is a search box) and it'll give you just under a dozen hits on other folks talking about Sysplex.  Some of the info might be dated, but it's a good place to start.  :)
