Title
In a FMS HA cluster with more than 2 members, how is the promotion to primary handled? -
Description
In a Foglight Management Server (FMS) HA cluster where there are more than 2 members, how is it determined which secondary server will be promoted to primary?
Is it possible to specify which server is promoted?
-
Resolution
The primary server in a JGroups cluster is determined by uptime. The cluster member that has been up the longest becomes the primary in the event of a failover.
To specify an order for failovers, ensure that the servers are started in the order you wish them to be promoted to primary in the event of a failover.
