3 Define Virtual Server Distribution Settings
By selecting the Customize option on the General tab, you can specify information about the pool
members such as the port on which the members receive traffic, the protocol type that the NSX load
balancer can use for accessing that port, the algorithm used for load balancing, and persistence
settings.
4 Define Virtual Server Health Check Settings
By selecting the Customize option on the General tab, you can specify how, or if, the NSX load
balancer performs health checks on pool members within the virtual server.
5 Define Virtual Server Advanced Settings
By selecting the Customize option on the General tab, you can customize the NSX load balancer
component to specify settings such as the number of concurrent connections that a single pool
member can recognize and the maximum number of concurrent connections that the virtual server
can process.
6 Define Load Balancer Logging Options
You can define the types of load balancer logging actions that are captured and recorded in the load
balancer logs.
Define Load Balancer Member Settings
You can define an on-demand NSX load balancer component to distribute task processing among
provisioned vSphere member machines or container machines in a network.
When you add a load balancer component to a blueprint in the design canvas, you can choose either a
default or custom option when creating or editing your virtual server definitions in the load balancer
component. The default option allows you to specify the virtual server protocol, port, and description and
use defaults for all other settings. The custom option allows you to define additional levels of detail.
If the load balancer is provisioned with an external network, the VIP (specified with VIP Network) and
member pool (specified with Member Network) must be on the same existing network. If the VIP and
pool are not on the same external network, an error occurs during provisioning.
Prerequisites
n
Create and configure load balancer settings for NSX. See Configuring vRealize Automation and NSX
Administration Guide.

To use NSX configurations in vRealize Automation, you must run data collection.
n
Create a network profile.
n
Log in to vRealize Automation as an infrastructure architect.
n
Open a new or existing blueprint in the design canvas by using the Design tab.
n
Verify that at least one vSphere machine component or container component exists in the blueprint.
