You must configure a load balancer to use Virtual IP with Geo Redundant High Availability (GRHA) configuration onMicrosoft Azure.
Before you begin
Before installing the load balancer, install AE Services on respective virtual machines to be included in the load balancer rule.
Note:
If you install AE Services on virtual machines after installing the load balancer, the installation fails as the AE Services installer cannot reach repository servers because of load balancer rule.
Procedure
Create a load balancer of Type=Internal and SKU=standard with a static front-end IP address that matches the AE Services alias IP address.
Create a back-end pool with the two AE Services virtual machines. Use the eth0 IP address on each machine.
Create a TCP health probe using port 450 (Unencrypted) or port 453 (Encrypted) according to the selected port under Networking > Ports > TSAPI Ports on OAM page. Use the minimum values of 5 seconds interval and 2 probes.
Create a load balancing rule using the Front-end, back-end and probes defined above and select HA ports and Floating IP enabled.
On the AE Services Management Console main menu, click Networking > AE Services IP (Local IP).
