ilbd

- ILB daemon

Synopsis

/usr/lib/inet/ilbd

Description

The Integrated Load Balancer (ILB) daemon, ilbd, provides user-level services for the ILB. It is a system daemon started by the Service Management Facility (see smf(5)). Its fault management resource identifier (FMRI) is:

svc:/network/loadbalancer/ilb:default

Note that ilbd is a Consolidation Private interface. See attributes(5).

ilbd provides no administrative interface. All ILB administration should be done through ilbadm(1M) or the programming library libilb(3LIB).

Options

The ilbd daemon has no options.

Examples

Example 1 Enabling the ILB Service

The following command enables the ILB service:

# svcadm enable svc:/network/loadbalancer/ilb:default

Example 2 Disabling the ILB Service

The following command disables the ILB service:

# svcadm disable svc:/network/loadbalancer/ilb:default

Errors

The ilbd daemon uses syslog(3C) to report status and error messages. All of the messages are logged with the LOG_DAEMON facility. Error messages are logged with the LOG_ERR and LOG_NOTICE priorities, and informational messages are logged with the LOG_INFO priority. The default entries in the /etc/syslog.conf file log all of the ilbd daemon error messages to the /var/adm/messages log.

Notes

The ilbd service is managed by the service management facility, smf(5), under the fault management resource identifier (FMRI):

svc:/network/loadbalancer/ilb:default

Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or requesting restart, can be performed using svcadm(1M). The service's status can be queried using the svcs(1) command. To administer the service, the authorization solaris.smf.manage.ilb must be granted. Alternatively, the rights profile “ILB Management” can be granted.

The ILB service must be enabled for the ilbadm(1M) command and any other libilb(3LIB) client applications to function properly.
