HIGH AVAILABILITY OVERVIEW
zGateway high availability and load balancing feature is required to make zGateway service always ON and to support large number of remote users with efficient utilization of hardware resources available. The system would enable thousands of remote users to be able to access corporate services with maximum performance. The whole deployment should be fault tolerant and should manage the user load efficiently. The high availability and load balancing system is referred as zGateway VPN cluster in this document.
zGateway VPN Cluster feature enables organizations to deploy two or more zGateway to support large no. of user’s with highly available VPN service.
The cluster will have following components:
1. Load balancer module: At least 1, maximum 2
2. High availability module: At least 1, maximum 2
3. VPN Gateway module: At least 1, maximum: 256
The zGateway VPN cluster would provide an active-active load balancing and high availability setup. There are following type of nodes in the VPN cluster:
1. Load balancing node (LB Node): Load balancer modules, High Availability module for load balancer , Cluster Management modules and VPN Configuration database
2. VPN Node: Full-fledged VPN Gateway
In a cluster at least 1 LB Node and 1 VPN Node are required. In a cluster maximum of 2 LB Node are possible. The 2 LB Node works in active-passive manner. If the active LB node goes down, the standby LB Node takes over the cluster.
In a cluster, maximum 256 VPN Nodes can be present.
Both LB Node and VPN Node can run on same hardware that means a single hardware can act as load balancer as well as process VPN connections.
There are following deployment models for the cluster:
1. Small deployments: Two Hardware instances, both running LB Node and VPN Node. This scenario is good for smaller deployments, typically good for 2000 users or so based on the hardware capacity. In this scenario, both the hardware instances are running load balancer and VPN functionality. One of the hardware runs active LB and other one acts as standby.
2. Large deployments: N no. of hardware with all nodes running VPN Node. This scenario suits deployments ranging from 2000-10000. In this scenario, there are 2 LB Nodes and there can be any no. of VPN Nodes. The hardware running LB Node also runs VPN Node.
3. Highly Scalable deployments: N no. of hardware with dedicated LB Node. This scenario suits deployments ranging from 10000 to 1,000,000 no. of users. The hardware running LB Node is free from doing VPN processing and hence the overall performance of LB Node is very high. Rest of the hardware runs VPN Nodes.

HA CONFIGURATION
High Availability > HA Configuration screen displays current HA status and allows Installation and restart of HA services.
To configure, enter the Virtual IP address to be used for the VPN cluster in the Virtual IP address field. This IP address will be assigned automatically to the active load balancer.
Enter Virtual Hostname in the Virtual Hostname field. This will become the hostname of the cluster. This hostname will be used to generate all SSL certificates. If the VPN gateway is to be published over Internet, using a valid SSL certificate, this hostname should be publically routable and SSL certificates will be generated with this hostname.
Click Enable to complete.
Whenever high availability configuration is modified, high availability services need to be reloaded using the Reload button.

REMOTE MEETINGS
The Remote Meetings feature enables zGateway users to create remote web meetings for the purpose or sharing presentation, text chat, file transfer or just use as helpdesk facility. Remote meeting feature is available in both zGateway Web Portal and Desktop Client. A user can select “give support” to connect to another user. User can select “get support” to request support from another user.

By default, remote meeting services are running. Administrator can simply verify the remote meeting service status under Remote Meetings > Configuration in the management console. Always it should be in RUNNING state.
In order to enable the Remote Meetings facility for specific users, the remote meeting application needs to be defined.

To enable users to perform remote meetings, create an application with type Remote Meeting. Specify the IP address of the zGateway server in the Application Server Address field and leave the default port as 51234.
Assign this application to users to whom you want to allow remote meetings.
For connecting to another user, user must enter the username of the partner and the meeting password.
Also zGateway administrator can view the live user who are doing remote meeting using Live User option. Here administrator can see the list of remote meeting live users.
