NAME New-NsxLoadBalancerPool



SYNOPSIS

Creates a new LoadBalancer Pool on the specified ESG.





SYNTAX

New-NsxLoadBalancerPool [-LoadBalancer] <XmlElement> -Name <String> [-Description <String>] [-Transparent]

-Algorithm <String> [-Monitor <XmlElement>] [-MemberSpec <XmlElement[]>] [-Connection <PSObject>]

[<CommonParameters>]





DESCRIPTION

An NSX Edge Service Gateway provides all NSX Edge services such as firewall,

NAT, DHCP, VPN, load balancing, and high availability.



The NSX Edge load balancer enables network traffic to follow multiple paths

to a specific destination. It distributes incoming service requests evenly

among multiple servers in such a way that the load distribution is

transparent to users. Load balancing thus helps in achieving optimal

resource utilization, maximizing throughput, minimizing response time, and

avoiding overload. NSX Edge provides load balancing up to Layer 7.



A pool manages load balancer distribution methods and has a service monitor

attached to it for health check parameters. Each Pool has one or more

members. Prior to creating or updating a pool to add a member, a member

spec describing the member needs to be created.



This cmdlet creates a new LoadBalancer Pool on the specified ESG.
