Create a vCenter Chargeback Manager Cluster
Apart from installing standalone vCenter Chargeback Manager instances, you can also create a cluster of
vCenter Chargeback Manager instances. A cluster has more than one vCenter Chargeback Manager instance
accessing the same vCenter Chargeback Manager database and having a common load balancer.
Cluster Installation
When you install vCenter Chargeback Manager for the first time on a machine, a load balancer is installed.
The load balancer enables you to run more than one instance of the vCenter Chargeback Manager, with each
instance accessing the same vCenter Chargeback Manager database.
These vCenter Chargeback Manager instances form a cluster. All user requests are routed through the load
balancer. Also, all the instances in the cluster share the same administrative account information.
NOTE Ensure that each instance of vCenter Chargeback Manager in the cluster is of the same version.
