Chapter 14. Server Configuration
14.1. Configuring ThinLinc Servers in a Cluster
In this section, we will describe how to configure a ThinLinc cluster with multiple agent servers to allow
load-balancing and redundancy.
Note: This section does not address configuration of high availability (HA). For information on
configuring your ThinLinc cluster for high availability, see Chapter 6.
A ThinLinc cluster consists of one master server (or multiple master servers in a HA configuration) with
multiple agent servers behind it. While ThinLinc in its simplest configuration may be run with both the
master and agent installed on the same machine, running ThinLinc in a cluster configuration conveys
numerous advantages:
1. A cluster configuration allows automatic load-balancing of sessions across multiple agents
2. Having multiple agents offers redundancy; for example, if one agent goes down or is taken out of
service for maintenance, other agents are still available to handle user sessions
3. A cluster configuration is scalable. Since most of the workload is taken up by the agents and not the
master, adding more capacity to your ThinLinc installation is generally as easy as installing one or
more new agent servers
14.1.1. Configuration Options
When configuring ThinLinc servers as a cluster, there are two main configuration options which need to
be set, one on the master and one on the agent(s):
/vsmserver/terminalservers
This parameter is configured on the master, and contains a list of all agent servers which will be part
of this cluster. Only servers in this list will be considered by the master as available to create
sessions on. See Section 14.2.2 for details.
/vsmagent/master_hostname
This parameter is configured on each agent in the cluster, and contains the name of the master server
for the cluster. See Section 14.2.1 for details.
Once the two parameters above have been configured, and the vsmagent and vsmserver services have
been restarted, these ThinLinc servers will then function as a cluster.
14.1.2. Cluster Management
When multiple agents have been configured as part of a cluster, it is usually desirable to keep their
configurations synchronised. Instead of making the same change seperately on each agent, ThinLinc
