Use Case 1: Configuring DataStream for a Master/Slave Database Architecture

A commonly used deployment scenario is the master/slave database architecture where the master database replicates all information to the slave databases.

For master/slave database architecture, you may want all WRITE requests to be sent to the master database and all READ requests to the slave databases.

The following figure shows the entities and the values of the parameters you need to configure on the appliance.

In this example scenario, a service (Svc_mysql_1) is created to represent the master database and is bound to a load balancing virtual server (Lb_vsr_mysql_master). Three more services (Svc_mysql_2, Svc_mysql_3, and Svc_mysql_4) are created to represent the three slave databases, and they are bound to another load balancing virtual server (Lb_vsr_mysql_slave).

A content switching virtual server (Cs_vsr_mysql_1) is configured with associated policies to send all WRITE requests to the load balancing virtual server, Lb_vsr_mysql_master, and all READ requests to the load balancing virtual server, Lb_vsr_mysql_slave.

When a request reaches the content switching virtual server, the virtual server applies the associated content switching policies to that request. After evaluating the policies, the content switching virtual server routes the request to the appropriate load balancing virtual server, which sends it to the appropriate service.

The following table lists the names and values of the entities and the policy configured on the NetScaler appliance.

Entity Type	Name	IP Address	Protocol	Port	Expression
Services	Svc_mysql_1	10.102.29.5	MYSQL	3306	NA
	Svc_mysql_2	10.102.29.6	MYSQL	3306	NA
	Svc_mysql_3	10.102.29.7	MYSQL	3306	NA
	Svc_mysql_4	10.102.29.8	MYSQL	3306	NA
Load balancing virtual servers	Lb_vsr_mysql_master	10.102.29.201	MYSQL	3306	NA
	Lb_vsr_mysql_slave	10.102.29.202	MYSQL	3306	NA
Content switching virtual server	Cs_vsr_mysql_1	10.102.29.161	MYSQL	3306	NA
Content switching policy	Cs_select	NA	NA	NA	“MYSQL.REQ.QUERY.COMMAND.contains(“select”)”

To configure DataStream for a master/slave database setup by using the command line interface

At the command prompt, type

``` add service Svc_mysql_1 10.102.29.5 mysql 3306
