LDN - Luminis Developer Network

There is an example bigip config in the luminis PD guide for IV on the sungard support site.

We use foundry, and have it largely working in test right now with 4.0.1.60.

The main thing is to set all the fos.* configman values, tell the load balancer the name of the cookie to maintain session stickiness on, and setup all your port forwarding (8008 to the tier, 80/443 balanced between the two front ends, chat ports, etc..).

Here is a sample of a pound (open source load balancer software) that worked to login. I didn't setup the various ports for other features, this was just web. I ran it on my desktop, and had my own local address act as a load balancer to two front-end IV boxes.

ListenHTTPS
        Address 127.0.0.1
        Port 443
        Cert "/etc/pound/privpubinter.pem"
        Service
                Backend
                        Address 10.10.3.30
                        Port 80
                End
                Backend
                        Address 10.10.3.34
                        Port 80
                End
                Session
                        Type    Cookie
                        ID      "loadbalancers"
                        TTL     300
                End

        End
End
ListenHTTP
        Address 127.0.0.1
        Port 80

                Backend
                        Address 10.10.3.30
                        Port 80
                End
                Backend
                        Address 10.10.3.34
                        Port 80
                End
                Session
                        Type    Cookie
                        ID      "loadbalancer"
                        TTL     300
                End

Your dns, or your host files on all the portal boxes needs to refer to the virtual name. So if your site name is someschool.edu, make sure that all the servers think that someschool.edu is the IP of the virtual load balancer IP.
