Set-Nlb Cluster Port Rule Node Weight

Module:
networkloadbalancingclusters
Sets the load weight of a port rule for a specific NLB node.

Description

The Set-NlbClusterPortRuleNodeWeight cmdlet sets the load weight of a port rule for a specific Network Load Balancing (NLB) node. The load weight applies only for the Multiple hosts filtering mode. When using the Multiple hosts filtering mode, the load weight specifies the relative amount of load-balanced network traffic that this node should handle for the associated port rule. Allowed integer values range from 0 (zero) to 100. To prevent a host from handling any network traffic, set the load weight to 0 (zero). The actual fraction of traffic handled by each node is computed as the local load weight divided by the sum of all load weights across the cluster. Different load weights can be specified for each node in the cluster using the LoadWeight parameter. Or, all nodes can be specified to distribute the network load equally by using the Equal parameter instead of the LoadWeight parameter.

This operation changes the configuration on all cluster nodes. As a result, the NLB cluster restarts the convergence process on all nodes to guarantee that configuration changes have been applied on all nodes and that a consistent state is reached. Any additional operations on the NLB cluster is not initiated until all cluster nodes have completed the convergence process and are back to the converged state.

Examples

Example 1: Set the weight for all port rules equal to the load weight on all nodes 

PS C:\>Get-NlbClusterNode | Get-NlbClusterPortRule | Set-NlbClusterPortRuleNodeWeight -Equal
IPAddress State     Start     End       Protocol  Mode      Affinity  Timeout 
--------- -----     -----     ---       --------  ----      --------  ------- 
All       Enabled   0         65535     Both      Multiple  Single    0

This command sets the weight for all port rules to equal the load weight on all nodes. This is applicable for port rules using the Multiple hosts. Note that this has to be set on all cluster nodes to achieve the desired effect.

Example 2: Set the weight for the specified port rule equal to the load weight on all nodes 

PS C:\>Get-NlbClusterNode | Get-NlbClusterPortRule -Port 80 | Set-NlbClusterPortRuleNodeWeight -Equal
IPAddress State     Start     End       Protocol  Mode      Affinity  Timeout 
--------- -----     -----     ---       --------  ----      --------  ------- 
All       Enabled   0         65535     Both      Multiple  Single    0 
All       Enabled   0         65535     Both      Multiple  Single    0

This command sets the weight for the specified port rule to equal the load weight on all nodes. This is applicable for port rules using the Multiple hosts. Note that this has to be set on all cluster nodes to achieve the desired effect.

Example 3: Set the weight for the specified port rule equal on a cluster node 

PS C:\>Get-NlbClusterNode -NodeName "Node001" | Get-NlbClusterPortRule -Port 80 | Set-NlbClusterPortRuleNodeWeight -LoadWeight 25 | Format-List "*"

Cluster          : cluster1 
NodeName         : node1 
VirtualIPAddress : 255.255.255.255 
StartPort        : 0 
EndPort          : 65535 
Affinity         : Single 
FilteringMode    : Multiple 
Protocol         : Both 
EqualLoad        : True 
LoadWeight       : 25 
PortState        : Enabled 
Priority         : 
Timeout          : 0

This command sets the weight for the specified port rule on the node named Node001 to 25. This is applicable for port rules using the Multiple hosts. Weights have to be set on each node.

Required Parameters

-IP

Specifies the IP address for the cluster port rule on which this cmdlet sets the load weight.

Type: IPAddress
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-InputObject

Specifies an array of cluster port rules on which this cmdlet sets the load weight. This is only applicable when the port rule filtering mode is Multiple hosts.

Type: PortRule[]
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName, ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters: False
-InterfaceName

Specifies the interface to which NLB is bound. This is the interface of the cluster against which this cmdlet is run.

Type: String
Aliases: Interface, IN, I
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Port

Specifies a port number within the port rule on which this cmdlet sets the node load weight. The acceptable values for this parameter are: 0 through 65535.

Type: UInt32
Aliases: P
Position: 0
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

Optional Parameters

-Equal

Indicates that the cmdlet sets the port rule weight to Equal on the cluster node. This specifies that all nodes distribute the network load equally. This parameter is only applicable when the port rule filtering mode is Multiple hosts.

Type: SwitchParameter
Aliases: E
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-HostName

Specifies the name of the cluster host against which this cmdlet is run. If this parameter is omitted or a value of . is entered, then the local cluster is assumed.

Type: String
Aliases: Host, HN, H
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-LoadWeight

Specifies the load weight for the given port rule to use for this node. This is only applicable when the port rule filtering mode is Multiple hosts. The acceptable values for this parameter are: 0 through 100.

Type: Int32
Aliases: W
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
