RD Connection Broker Warm Standby Node


it's become necessary to implement rd connection broker in our environment.  familiar article available on technet on setting rd connection broker on cluster (active/passive) however, moving away use of windows clustering practical , possible.

has used warm standby node (rdcb role service installed, service broker computer added, additional requirements met, etc.)  in case there issue on node 1, node 2 can used?  testing an approach where the rdcb has a dns alias configure rd hosts use rdcb server.  so, in recovery scenario update dns alias of rd host farms point to.  recovery time should minutes in case , confirm testing in pre-production environment.

additional information may impact responses includes follwoing:  we use rd gateway, rd web (with sso) and rd hosts (multiple farms), highly available using hardware load balancer.  not use virtual desktop resources in environment , have no plans in future so.

steven,  here's i've tested far , appears work.  consideration.

  1. setup rdcb role on 2 nodes xxxxrdcb1 & xxxxrdcb2
  2. add the 2 rdweb nodes xxxxrdweb1 & xxxxrdweb2 both rdcb nodes
  3. add the four rdsh farm nodes (2 per farm) for rdshfarm1 , rdshfarm2 session broker computers group on both rdcb nodes
  4. setup cname alias rdcb named xxxxrdcb, point xxxxrdcb1
  5. setup rdshfarm1 & rdshfarm2 servers to use rdcb xxxxrdcb (alias)
  6. configure rdweb use xxxxrdcb (alias) rdcb source
  7. test user access published application on both farms through rdweb sso.  launch applications both farms.
  8. test 'failover' second rdcb node changing cname in dns point xxxxrdcb2, shut down xxxxrdcb1.  let dns replication complete.
  9. test user access published application on both farms through rdweb sso.  launch applications both farms.
