LOAD BALANCING (Experienced help needed)
now, i have been reading alot of books about this load balancing thing. when looking at the output of iostat and one determines that the disks do not have roughly equivalent utilization rate, books i've read mentions balancing the loads so the loads are spread evenly across the disks.
Now, i really hate this as at least, these damn books should explain in plain steps how to accomplish this balancing concept. instead they go on assuming their readers knows what the hell is going on.
The help I need from you guys is for you to tell me what i'm supposed to do when "load balancing". i mean, what do i do?? please dont give sumed up answers. i would appreciate if you can tell me in details. it can't be that complicated. Just go straight to the main points and I will fill in the rest cuz I not new to Unix.
(remember, i have no clue about this load balancing so please include in your answers any little information that u feel is important)
thank you

If you have two or more servers load balancing, are the servers mirroring one another? If images, etc., are uploaded, will they be stored on all the servers so that if one server goes down, the images will be served up by another server? (1 Reply)

rpload(1) General Commands Manual rpload(1)
NAME
rpload - alpine remote data utility
SYNTAX
rpload [ -f ] [ -s trimSize ] -t Type -l Local_file -r Remote_folder
DESCRIPTION
Rpload may be used to convert local Alpine configuration files or address books into remote configurations or address books. It is
intended to be used by system administrators. Regular users should normally use the facilities provided within Alpine.
Local_file will usually be a user's alpine configuration file, and Remote_folder is the IMAP folder which will be used (with the help of
Alpine's -p, -P, and -x commands or PINECONF, PINERC, and PINERCEX environment variables) as the user's remote configuration folder. A
copy of Local_file will be placed in the folder with the correct header lines to satisfy Alpine.
-f Force the load even if the remote folder is in the wrong format. This will delete the contents of the folder so use it
carefully.
-s trimSize If the number of messages in the remote folder is more than one plus trimsize (one is for the header message), then
messages 2, 3, and so on will be deleted until there are only one plus trimsize messages left. If this option is not
set no trimming will be done.
-t Type The possible Types are pinerc, abook, and sig. (Sig is mostly obsolete. Literal signatures contained within the remote
pinerc should be used instead.)
-l Local_file The file on this system that is to be copied.
-r Remote_folder A remote folder name to be copied to. See the Alpine documentation for the syntax of a remote folder name. One exam-
ple is
{my.imap.server}remote_pinerc.
DIAGNOSTICS
Exit status is zero if all goes well, -1 otherwise.
