## Exporting the Load Balancer Configuration File

The load balancer plug-in shipped with Sun Java System Application Server uses a configuration file called `loadbalancer.xml`. Use the `asadmin` tool to create a load balancer configuration in the `domain.xml` file. After configuring the load balancing environment, export it to a file.

### To export the load balancer configuration

1. Export a `loadbalancer.xml` file using the `asadmin` command `export-http-lb-config`.

   Export the `loadbalancer.xml` file for a particular load balancer configuration. You can specify a path and a different file name. If you don’t specify a file name, the file is named `loadbalancer.xml.` load_balancer_config_name. If you don’t specify a path, the file is created in the application_server_install_dir `/domains/`domain_name `/generated` directory.

   To specify a path on Windows, use quotes around the path. For example, `"c:\sun\AppServer\loadbalancer.xml"` .

2. Copy the exported load balancer configuration file to the web server’s configuration directory.

   For example, for the Sun Java System Web Server, that location might be web_server_root`/config` .

   The load balancer configuration file in the web server’s configuration directory must be named `loadbalancer.xml`. If your file has a different name, such as `loadbalancer.xml.` load_balancer_config_name, you must rename it.
