Migrating Clients To Another Controller

If there is an imbalance in the network load, the system can rebalance the load by migrating clients between controllers, either automatically or manually. Choose whether the clients or routers in the list may be migrated to other controllers.

Select Monitor→ Load Balancing→ Client Connections. The Client Connections page is displayed. By default, the Clients tab displays a list of all the client connections.
In the client connections table, select one or more client connections that you want to migrate and click Assign Interface. The Assign Interface page is displayed.
In Move to, choose a specific controller as the target or choose Assigned Controller.
- To migrate all the selected clients to a specific controller, choose a specific controller from the list.
- To migrate all the selected clients back to their original controllers after a failed controller is revived, choose the Assigned Controller. Each client can have a different assigned controller.
In Interface, choose the appropriate target interface or allow the system to assign the target interface on the controller automatically.
- CAUTION: This operation disconnects CIFS connections if they are migrated to a different controller.
To enable Automatic Rebalance, select Allow these clients to migrate to other controllers when rebalancing the network load .
Click Assign.
