Adding a Server | HP SuperStack 3 Load Balancer Appliance guide

64CHAPTER 8: CONFIGURING FOR LOAD BALANCING

Adding a Server	The servers must first be defined before they can be bound to a particular
	service. The server is given an arbitrary name (this does not have to be its
	DNS name) and is identified by its IP address.
	To define a server, complete the following steps:
1	Click Logical View on the Toolbar.
2	Point to the Server window border and left-click the mouse button.
3	In the pop-up list, click Add. The first Configure Server page appears.
	If you have not defined a server subnet, you will be prompted with a
	Warning message asking if you wish to define the server subnet now. If
	you click Yes, follow the online instructions. For information on how to
	configure a Server Subnet, see “Defining a Server Subnet” on page 62.
4	Enter 192.168.2.1 in the IP Address field and click Add
5	Enter Server A in the Name field.
6	Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each server you are adding.
7	Click Done.
	The servers are now known to the Server Load Balancer, but are not
	associated with a service.
