Print this Topic Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

A node represents an IceGrid node that starts and monitors your servers. Several applications can be deployed on the same node;  however a node descriptor describes only the servers defined by the enclosing application.

Properties

The Node Properties panel offers the following fields:

Name

The name of the node. This name must match the IceGrid.Node.Name configuration property of the node process.

Description

A free-text description of this node.

Variables

This table shows node-level IceGrid variables. See Variables.

Load Factor

A floating point value used to compare different nodes when making a load-balancing decision based on load-average (for Linux and Unix) or CPU utilization (for Windows). See Replica Group.

Leaving this value blank is equivalent to the default: 1.0 on Linux and Unix, and 1.0 divided by the number of CPUs on Windows.

Children

A node can have two types of children:

Server
Property Set
