The GLB wizard is a step-by-step tool to help you configure a GLB object in GUI.

To use the GLB Wizard:

Go to Global Load Balance > GLB Wizard

To configure a GLB wizard:
  1. In Server, configure the Name, Address, and Data Center Location.
  2. In Virtual Server Pool, configure the Name, Preferred and Alternate. Discover the server members that were previously configured in Server, and select from the given list.
  3. It is required to specify the Name, Host Name, and Domain Name. You can also, if you want, specify the Default Feedback IPv4 or Default Feedback IPv6.
  4. After clicking Finished, the Global DNS Configuration will be complete. The Global DNS Configuration radio button in GLB > Zone Tools > General Settings will be enabled automatically.

In Zone Tools, three things will happen:

1. Under Zone, your new zone will appear.

2. Under Global DNS Policy, select the first policy. If more than one policy exists, choose the first one.

3. A dialogue opens. Under Zone List, you will see that your zone has moved automatically from Available Items to Selected Items.
