Windows Server Forum / Windows Media Server / April 2004Cluster/failover
Can WMS handle failover by using clustering. If WMS in one machine failed services, can it be automatiically using another machine continuously providing services for both unicast and multicast? I've done this (with unicast) using a load balancer in front of the WMS servers. In my case it was an Alteon box. Muliticast would be a bit dicier -- you would have to somehow monitor the stream from the backup box and start the service when you detect a failure. The clients would likely need to reconnect as the original stream will have died.

SignatureTim Carter / StreamingMeeMee Frontier Digital PH: 508.982.4800 AIM: streamingmeemee MSN: streamingmeemee@hotmail.com Microsoft Digital Media MVP 2002-2004 Why not use Windows Network Load Balancing (built into W2K3 Enterprise edition)? Works fine for us on http://high.tv Reconnect will be necessary if a server dies mid-stream. You can cover this possibility with a suitable ASX file or in JavaScript. btw, I couldn't find a hardware load balancer with GigE at a sensible price.

Could you explain how asx would be used to correct for failure? I am not sure how this would be utilized... hi guys, I need to set up this kind of thing, i have two wmservers and i want to be sure that if one of them is down, the second can handle the requests, can one of you point me to a good tutorial or something ? im no expert, thank you Fred >-----Original Message----- >I've done this (with unicast) using a load balancer in front of the WMS [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >> automatiically using another machine continuously >> providing services for both unicast and multicast? |
