| <para>&PRODUCT; can use a load balancer to provide a virtual IP for multiple Management |
| Servers. The administrator is responsible for creating the load balancer rules for the |
| Management Servers. The application requires persistence or stickiness across multiple sessions. |
| The following chart lists the ports that should be load balanced and whether or not persistence |
| is required.</para> |
| <para>Even if persistence is not required, enabling it is permitted.</para> |

| <para>In addition to above settings, the administrator is responsible for setting the 'host' global |
| config value from the management server IP to load balancer virtual IP address. |
| If the 'host' value is not set to the VIP for Port 8250 and one of your management servers crashes, |
| the UI is still available but the system VMs will not be able to contact the management server. |
