Bitrix Virtual Appliance

VA allows for the fast deployment of web-server clusterization in Bitrix Site Manager (legacy product, no longer available) and Bitrix24 Self-hosted.

Upon splitting the project into several websites you need to solve two tasks:

• Data (file) synchronization between servers
• Load balance between servers

Create web-server

To create a web-server:

• Select menu item 8. Manage web nodes in the pool > 1. Create web instance on server, :

  

• Type the host name in the pool where the web-server is created in (here – server5):

  

• Wait until the web-server creation task is completed.

Remove web-server

To remove the web-server:

• Select menu item 8. Manage web nodes in the pool > 2. Remove web instance on server.
• Type the hostname of the web-server to be removed (e.g. server1):

  

• Wait until the web-server removal task is completed.
• Finally, you have one web-server on the server5 machine:

  

Thus, we migrated the web-server from the server1 to server5 machine and cleared the server1 machine resources for other roles.
