Hi,
I have 2x VMware View Connection Servers using NLB in Multicast mode
It seems to work fine, however I am trying to figure out how it would be possible for one of the Connection Servers to be placed into maintenance mode (for Windows Patching)
Should I either
a) have the Affinity set to Single (As close as NLB can do Sticky Sessions)
b) have the Affinity set to none, will this work? how are the view sessions handled
When I then drainstop on one of the Connection Servers, how can I get the existing sessions to switch over to the other connection server gracefully so I can perform maintenance, reboot and re-converge the Connection Server?
We currently don't have a budget for a Proper Hardware load balancer, so I am either going to use NLB or look at that SUSE appliance with HAProxy.
Whichever can meet my requirements better and provide no single point of failure.
