Question

FMS Origin-Only Clustering.

Hi,

      I was successfully able to setup FMS edge-origin cluster but Origin-only clustering is the one we wanted for our live applications.

Can someone please provide any material / pointer about setting up Multiple Origin clustering. The only place I found was 'Large Scale Deployment with FMIS'.

    I guess for Origin Only Clustering, we need to have our own caching system. Can someone what does get cached in a Live AV Chat? How do I propagate it to other Origins?

   What kind of plugins would I need for cache managing? What should the plugin do ?

   In the attached Origin Only Architecture,  what does the Primary Origin do and Secondary Origin do ?   I thought Origin is the place where the application is actually running and Edges do proxy. Is it the same here in Origin-only clustering also?

   Are there any tools which can measure the lag in AV ? (like performance measuring tools or load testing tools for FMS).

   What kind of software Load Balancer can we use for FMS clustering? ( like Nginx, Zeus or something ?) ?

   Kindly help on this FMS Origin-only clustering.

Thanks

Karthik.

    Hi,

         Thanks for responding,

          I ve setup this way,

                               _____  Origin1  ___  -----------  ( Application runs only here )

                              /              |               \            \

                             `               |               |               \

                        edge1           edge2          edge3     edge4 ....     ( Applications dont run here, they ll route the traffic to Origin1 )

                              |               |                 |            /

                              \               |               ./           /

                                   Load Balancer.    -------------'                    Load balancer sends the traffic to edg1, edg2 and so on.

               ,`````````````````````` /                \

              /                      /                   \

             /                     /                      \

            /                    /                         \

    User1                User2                     User3           .....

    I am using FMIS 4. Our application is Live AV chat.

    For setting up the Origin-Only cluster should we write our our c++ plugin to implement the caching system?? How do I start ?

    Can you please explain a small workflow of the  Origin-Only Clustering please like how does clustering happen and how failovers work and how to use Primary and Secondary Origins and  how Edges, Intermediate nodes work please ?

    how did you connect Origin with edges 1,2,3,4 ?

    how did you load balanced from the edges to the users 1,2,3 ?

    All big LB guys like Zeus, Barracuda etc are based on HAproxy , ut HAproxy is free , work great and can been used as a cache if you want

    for DNS failure I'm using DNSmadeEasy and it work great

    tell me how you connected the FMS servers to each other
