Intra-Array Communication

When you use ISA Server integrated NLB, each computer running ISA Server
services requires an additional network adapter, for intra-array
communication. We recommend that these network adapters be physically
connected to each other (for example, through a single switch), and not
to other network segments, to ensure that they receive only intra-array
communication. You should then configure intra-array communication to
use the IP address of the new adapter on each server. The configuration
procedures are described in the topic Configuring and Securing
Intra-Array Communication in this document.

 

Therefore it needs at least 2 nics

I did this and I found interesting documentation.

 

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/isa/2004/plan/network_load_balancing_ee
.mspx

 

please be kind and confirm if my understanding was right:

 

-       to have ISA with one Ethernet card only working in ARRAY there
is also required to configure Network Load Balancing.

 

Or ... TWO Ethernet will be a MUST ?

 

Thank you.

 

 

PS: on Isa 2000 it was simple creating the array, joust add second
server, same settings and work but in 2004 it seems they change
something more.

 

 

Yours sincerely,

Search the help for "intra-array account".

Make sure that it's set the same for al servers in the array.

Dear Colleagues,

 

I come to you with a simple question and I trough that you can help me
faster than any other documentation.

 

We have an ISA Server 2004 connected to our main domain, with only one
interface and used purely for caching. The settings are all ok,
everything works all right. In this enviroments we add another server
with intentions to have 2 servers in array. We would like to make a fail
over at DNS level with same record and two IP.

 

After this array created successfully, there is one error on each ISA
machine:

Description: ISA Server cannot connect to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx proxy server
because the server requires authentication, either when chaining or for
intra-array communication. However authentication failed because the
specified credentials were incorrect. Check authentication credentials
and try again.

 

While XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is the address of OTHER server. In this spirit I
reach the conclusion that there is a problem in INTRA ARRAY
communication.

 

The second server it have CARP Load factor to 1 and the old server have
CARP Load factor to 100. In this enviroments .... When an end user
connects to the second server it got the following error:

 

?         Error Code: 502 Proxy Error. Logon failure: unknown user name
or bad password. (1326) 

?         IP Address: server isa old

?         Date: 2/6/2007 7:18:37 AM 

?         Server: server isa new

?         Source: proxy 

 

I can only conclude that Intra-Array authentification is the problem.

 

If you can provide me a fast advice I would appreciate very much.

 

 

 

Yours sincerely,
