The Hosting Solution Engine enables you to manage and configure Cisco server 

load balancers (SLB) on a dashboard. 

The Hosting Solution Engine supports a subset of a the commands or functionality 

for the SLB devices (mostly functionality that supports load balancing). Error 

messages displayed in the graphical user interface may be different from those 

that the device uses. Make sure you understand the configuration conditions and 

the limitations of each device. See your SLB device documentation for details on 

commands and configuration information.

Hosting Solution Engine manages the service associated with the device, not the 

device itself.
