We have one sharepoint server (sp1) and the database server (db5). To get some features of sharepoint to work, we installed sharepoint on the db5 server.
The sharepoint search service topology does not show db5 as a query component, but (apparently) randomly, the round robin system returns the db5 server in the url to the search service. this causes an error:
EventID: 8313 SharePoint Web Services Round Robin Service Load Balancer Event: EndpointFailure Process Name: w3wp Process ID: 11352 AppDomain Name: /LM/W3SVC/793880394/ROOT-1-130661322414428557 AppDomain ID: 2 Service Application Uri: urn:schemas-microsoft-com:sharepoint:service:ac46e57625f540e592ef16d8cafbae41#authority=urn:uuid:6a161a722144223e6a4d11faa95b89994&authority=https://sp1:32542/Topology/topology.svc Active Endpoints: 1 Failed Endpoints:1
Affected Endpoint: http://db5:32542/ac46e57625f540e593ef18d8cafbae41/SearchService.svc
the correct address should not have the http://db5:32542...I believe it should be http://sp1:32542.
I have a suspicion that the problem is in the load balancing/round robin. Somehow there is a setting that allows sharepoint to serve the db5 server as the host.
I want to remove db5 as an available server in the load balancer/round robin system.
