Distributing Virtual Systems Amongst Members
The primary advantage of VSLS is the ability to distribute active, standby and backup Virtual Systems
amongst cluster members in order to maximize throughput and user response time. You can choose to
distribute Virtual Systems according to one of the following options:
Automatically distribute active Virtual Systems amongst cluster members so that all members are
equally loaded based on assigned weights and existing or default priority definitions.
Automatically place all active Virtual Systems on the same member
Manually define priorities and weights for each Virtual System
