Setting Up Load Balanced SOTI XSight Servers

Before you begin

Important: Create a shared network storage location before beginning this procedure (see step 2).

About this task

You can easily set up a load balanced SOTI XSight environment. Follow the general installation instructions at Installing SOTI XSight, making sure to configure the settings as mentioned here.

Procedure

On your first SOTI XSight server:
  1. At step 11, choose the Public URL option and enter the load balancer's externally facing URL for SOTI XSight.
  2. At step 13, choose the Custom Storage Locations option and for the attachments, downloads, and videos fields, enter paths to shared network storage locations that are accessible by all SOTI XSight servers.
  3. At step 16, in the SOTI MobiControl URL field, enter the load balancer's externally facing URL for SOTI MobiControl.
  4. For same server load balancing only: In the same step (16), enable the Local Access SOTI MobiControl URL option and enter the URL for the SOTI MobiControl instance on the same server.
    The Local Access SOTI MobiControl URL will be the same for all SOTI XSight servers.
On the rest of your SOTI XSight servers
  1. Run the SOTI XSight installer and keep all settings the same as on the first server except for:
    1. At step 9, deselect Deploy Database and Run Migration tool.
    2. At step 10, enter the details specific to each SOTI XSight server.
  2. Enable RSA key encryption. Follow the steps at Generating New RSA Keys.
