Operating system level failover

Operating system level failover can also be implemented for those not wishing to implement a Sterling B2B Integrator cluster.

Operating System Level Failover (Without an Application Cluster)
The option of implementing failover in an application environment through the use of operating system level failover is a viable option for those not wishing to implement an application cluster.
Configuring for Operating System Level Failover
The objective is to take a standard application installation on one node, detect failures, disable the first node, enable a second node, and start an identically configured application. The exact mechanics of this process will vary, depending on the hardware and software involved.
Cluster Configuration Technical Options
There are many technical options for cluster configurations.
Key Considerations
There are key considerations for deploying failover technology in Sterling B2B Integrator.

You can test failover using Windows Cluster Solution.
Sample Operating System Level Failover: Initiating Failure from Cluster Administrator
You can initiate failure from Cluster Administrator.
Sample Operating System Level Failover: Bringing an Application Resource Online from Cluster Administrator
You can bring an application resource online from Cluster Administrator.
Sample Operating System Level Failover: Windows Cluster Installation (Local Drive)
You can create an operating system level failover with a Windows Cluster Installation (Local Drive).
