Creating the Topology
Once you have defined the topology, you should save your configuration
(File > Save) to ensure that you can resume your LoadSim configuration if
you should choose to interrupt the running session. The next step is to cre-
ate the topology (Run > Create Topology). With LoadSim 2003, the topol-
ogy creation involves creating user accounts and distribution groups in a
special container.
First, a top-level container called “LoadSim Users” is created. Then, sub-
containers are created for each of the servers running under the simulation
(see Figure 6.11).
This is quite a practical way of separating ...
