To configure the server farm for Perceptive Content Server, complete the following steps.

  1. Open the Cisco ACE configuration tool.
  2. Click the Config tab.
  3. In the Load Balancing menu, select Server Farms.
  4. Add a new server farm by clicking the + (plus) symbol.
  5. To monitor the health of the server farm, set the probe to the one that you configured when you set up server-health monitoring.
  6. Select Purge for the fail action. This option sends a reset to terminate the socket connection when a server fails.
  7. Click Deploy Now.
  8. Under the Real Server @ <ServerFarmName> heading, add the real servers to the server farm by clicking the + (plus) symbol.
  9. Complete the following substeps.
    1. In the Real server name list, select the real server name.
    2. In the Port field, set the port number to the port Perceptive Content Server listens on. This is the same port that was set when you created the health probe for Perceptive Content Server. The default is 6000, as defined in the inserver.ini file.
    3. Set a backup server and port. The backup server becomes active if the real server is in a failed state (optional).
    4. In the Server weight area, configure the server weight. Servers with higher weights receive more connections as a ratio of their weight to the other servers' weights.
    5. Click Deploy Now.
  10. Click the Predictor tab, and select Least Connections for the predictor type.
