Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: IBM WebSphere Application Server Load * * Balancer users * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The crossport affinity port attribute * * is not saved correctly in the load * * balancers configuration. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The load balancer may not save the crossport affinity to a configuration file or it may be saved incorrectly.
Problem conclusion
The crossport affinity port attribute must be defined when the port is added to the load balanacer and the port defined for crossport affinity must already be defined. -Crossport setting is not saved with the selection algorithm "conn+affin". -When the attribute is saved, it is saved on both ports leading to a syntax error when the saved configuration is loaded. -Saved as a "port set" command when the stickybits port attribute is also set which causes a syntax error when the saved configuration is loaded. Code has been corrected to save crossport correctly. Fix levels: 8.5.5.19 9.0.5.6
Temporary fix
Edit the load balancer configuration and correct the commands when necessary. Example: dscontrol port add <cluster>@<port1> selectionalgorithm conn+affin stickytime 300 dscontrol port add <cluster>@<port2> selectionalgorithm conn+affin stickytime 300 crossport <port1>
