Installation guide

The following procedure for verifying failover in a Breeze Live cluster assumes that there are two
computers in the cluster, Computer1 and Computer2. The procedure for verifying failover with more
than two computers is very similar.
To verify failover in a Breeze Live cluster with two computers:
1 Verify that no Breeze meetings are currently open.
This ensures that if you create two meetings, load balancing assigns each meeting to a
different computer.
2 Open the Breeze Manager and create a new meeting. Enter the meeting room for the meeting.
For information about opening the Breeze Manager and creating meetings, see “Verifying that the
Breeze database and Breeze Presentation platform work together” on page 22 and “Verifying that
you can use Breeze Live” on page 24.
When you create a meeting room, your browser displays a Meeting Information page. Click Enter
Meeting Room.
3 In the meeting room’s Note pod, enter Meeting room 1 or similar text for identification purposes.
To enter text in the Note pod, simply place the cursor in the Note pod and start typing.
4 Repeat steps 1 and 2 to create a new meeting and a Note pod entry, such as Meeting room 2.
You can have two or more meeting rooms open in your browser at the same time.
Because of load balancing, each meeting you created should be assigned to a different computer.
5 Stop Breeze Live on Computer1 by selecting Start > All Programs > Macromedia > Macromedia
Breeze 4 > Stop Breeze Live Server.
If failover is successful, the window for one of the meeting rooms goes blank for up to a minute
while failover is activated. Then the meeting room is displayed again, exactly as it was before.
If failover is successful for Computer1, the next step is to test failover for Computer2.
6 To enable testing of failover for Computer2, restart Breeze Live on Computer1 by selecting To Start
> All Programs > Macromedia > Macromedia Breeze 4 > Start Breeze Live Server.
7 Stop Breeze Live on Computer2.
If failover takes place, as described in step 5, you have successfully configured your Breeze
Live cluster.
