ARR setup for newbies

Kharcoff — Fri, 22 May 2009 21:59:01 GMT

I'm trying to use ARR and get not only benefits from load balancing but also try to come with fail safe features. So the main idea is to keep production serving web requests, but when PROD machine is down I need to automatically send all requests to TEST machine.

This is my setup:

PROD Physical Machine:

ARR Server - Hyper-V Machine running Windows 2008 Datacenter

Webserver 1 - Hyper-V Machine running Windows 2008 Datacenter

Webserver 2 - Hyper-V Machine running Windows 2008 Datacenter

TEST Physical Machine:

ARR Server - Hyper-V Machine running Windows 2008 Datacenter

Webserver 1 - Hyper-V Machine running Windows 2008 Datacenter

Webserver 2 - Hyper-V Machine running Windows 2008 Datacenter

The question is:

1) To make ARR to work do I have to install ARR in all servers or only on ARR Servers?

2) Should I add webservers to create a webfarm only on the ARR servers or in all servers?

3) How can I make requests go on PROD-Webserver1 or PROD-Webserver2 and only if both are down to go on TEST-Webserver1, TEST-Webserver2?

4) What happen if only one Webserver (either from PROD or TEST) is up?

Thanks a lot...Marcus
