Hi,
I need some clarity related to my scenario.
I have 3 servers as follows:
Server-1 = Application/WFE server role
Server-2 = Application/WFE server role
Server-3 = SQL server
The objective is to setup a high availability for SharePoint, and in order to achieve this we have configured Server-1 and Server-2 behind NLB. So if my server-1 will be down, my web app will still be accessible through server-2 and vice verse.
NLB = Server
I have created a Farm using server-1, and then later joined Server-2 in the same farm. I have configured webapp using host header defined as my NLB host header information, so that i can access my webapp using NLB and not using server-1/server-2 name.
so now my webapp URL is: http://server:83
now, in order to test the objective, if i shut server-2 down my webapp still stays accessible. But if i shut server-1 down, my web-app also goes down. which means that only server-1 is processing web-app, and there is something missing on server-2 to make it work like identical to server-1.
how to ensure that both the servers are working as application server? so that i will be able to achieve this objective?
any help, recommendation would be appreciated.
thanks.
