Use Case 1: Configure DataStream for a primary/secondary database architecture

A commonly used deployment scenario is the primary/secondary database architecture where the primary database replicates all information to the secondary databases.

For primary/secondary database architecture, you might want all WRITE requests to be sent to the primary database and all READ requests to the secondary databases.

The following figure shows the entities and the values of the parameters that you need to configure on the appliance.

Figure 1. DataStream Entity Model for Primary/Secondary Database Setup

Primary/secondary database setup

In this example scenario, a service (Svc_mysql_1) is created to represent the primary database and is bound to a load balancing virtual server (Lb_vsr_mysql_primary). Three more services (Svc_mysql_2, Svc_mysql_3, and Svc_mysql_4) are created to represent the three secondary databases, and they are bound to another load balancing virtual server (Lb_vsr_mysql_secondary).

A content switching virtual server (Cs_vsr_mysql_1) is configured with associated policies to send all WRITE requests to the load balancing virtual server, Lb_vsr_mysql_primary. All READ requests are sent to the load balancing virtual server, Lb_vsr_mysql_secondary.

When a request reaches the content switching virtual server, the virtual server applies the associated content switching policies to that request. After evaluating the policies, the content switching virtual server routes the request to the appropriate load balancing virtual server, which sends it to the appropriate service.

The following table lists the names and values of the entities and the policy configured on the Citrix ADC appliance.

Entity Type	Name	IP Address	Protocol	Port	Expression
Services	Svc_mysql_1	198.51.100.5	MYSQL	3306	NA
	Svc_mysql_2	198.51.100.6	MYSQL	3306	NA

	Svc_mysql_4	198.51.100.8	MYSQL	3306	NA
Monitor	lb_mon1	NA	MYSQL-ECV	NA	mysql.res.atleast_rows_count(1)
Load balancing virtual servers	Lb_vsr_mysql_primary	198.51.100.201	MYSQL	3306	NA
	Lb_vsr_mysql_secondary	198.51.100.202	MYSQL	3306	NA
Content switching virtual server	Cs_vsr_mysql_1	198.51.100.161	MYSQL	3306	NA
Content switching policy	Cs_select	NA	NA	NA	`MYSQL.REQ.QUERY.COMMAND.contains("select")`
