How to troubleshoot round robin method to confirm functionality?


Instructions

NetScaler will load balance the request between the service group members using RR fashion. Make sure that we don't have any persistence set.
To validate the distribution you can drop into the shell and execute the following command. # nsconmsg -j -s ConLb=1 -d distrconmsg

In case a single Client request should be distributed in a RR fashion by the NetScaler (i.e. User X should be sent to server A for connection 1 and he should be forwarded to server B for his second connection which might come after any time to the NetScaler.). RR is something done for all the requests that are coming from all the users to the NetScaler rather than the requests that are coming from a single user.

NetScaler will not keep track of each and every user and RR his request to the Backend servers.

If we want the NetScaler to keep track of user sessions, we can definitely use Persistence. However, it will only guarantee us that the request is forwarded to the same server.
