About this task

A pool is a group of servers to which services can be load balanced. In this configuration, each pool is a single IP address on the internal firewall that corresponds to an Avaya Oceana® cluster/server.

Procedure

  1. On the Virtual Traffic web admin interface, click Services > Pools.

    The interface displays the Create a new Pool page.

  2. In the Pool Name field, enter a name for the pool.
  3. In the Pool Type field, select Static.
  4. Under Nodes, enter the unique IP address/port combination on the internal firewall of the destination cluster/server.
  5. Click Create Pool.

    Virtual Traffic Manager creates the pool and displays the following message:

    This pool is not yet associated with a virtual server, so settings for all protocols are shown below.
