Before you install 39
from behind another firewall, you must open both ports so the ClusterCATS Explorer
can communicate with the cluster.
The following diagram shows this scenario:
This scenario involves Company ABC, which has East Coast and West Coast server
groups connected to the Internet, protected by several firewalls. The ClusterCATS
Explorer resides at the corporate headquarters behind a firewall with a direct connection
to the Internet.
You must open and configure the appropriate communication ports on your firewalls to
allow server-to-server communication in a distributed setting and server-to-client
communication.
Note: You must open both ports on all affected firewalls.
These ports include the following:
•
Port 9123 (for TCP and UDP access) — opening port 9123 on a firewall allows
multiple, distributed server clusters residing in different locations to communicate
with one another across firewalls
•
Port 9129 (for TCP and UDP access) — opening port 9129 on a firewall allows
ClusterCATS Explorer to communicate with multiple, distributed server clusters
across firewalls
Analyzing web server content
All web servers, virtual servers, or websites in a cluster must have identical content.
You should specify the same default document for each web server in the cluster. For
example, set the default document to
default.jsp
