Site Survey
Photocopy multiple copies of the Site Survey tables. You should
complete the tables before you begin the Quick Start Wizard.
Definitions
• Data Sites. Where your sites are located (both the network
topology and geographical location).
• ISP’s DNS. Your Internet Service Provider’s DNS needs to
include your name server information.
• Zones. The subdomain to which the host belongs.
• Services. A service is an application protocol that is offered on a
network. The device where the service is running is identified by
an IP address and a port is used to identify the protocol at the
designated IP address. A service contains an IP address and a
port. For example, 10.54.67.6:80 describes a service
consisting of a server’s HTTP application listening on port 80.
• Agents. The HP Traffic Directors at each site. (refers to either
HP Traffic Director Server Appliance, Models SA7200 and
SA7220; or HP e-Commerce Traffic Director Server Appliance,
Models SA8200 and SA8220) They are used to keep the SA9200
informed of the services it manages. The information it provides
to the SA9200 includes metrics, site status, response time, and
number of current connections of the server farm they are
balancing.
NOTE: If an ISV group is
on a remote site, identify
the ISV group by a site
name. If a group of
services are across sites,
identify the ISV group by
the service.
• ISV Group. Intelligent Site Verification (ISV) is used to directly
determine the availability of (a) a service or, (b) a service that is
balanced using a third-party load balancer. Methods of
verification include a site ping, TCP connect, and HTTP probe.
An ISV Group is a collection of services. All services in a group
share the same ISV polling parameters.
