Server failover

This feature enables failover between the probe and the primary and secondary EMS servers. During failover, the probe will continue to switch between the primary and secondary server until a connection is made to one of them.

Server failover is configured using the EnableFailover, RetryCount, and RetryInterval properties.

Note: To enable the server failover function, the following conditions must be met:
  1. The EnableFailover property must be set to true to enable the values specified in the following properties:
    • SecondaryIORFile
    • SecondaryNamingContextIORFile
    • SecondaryNamingServiceHost
    • SecondaryNamingServicePort
  2. The RetryCount property must be set to a value greater then 0.

    When the RetryInterval property is set to 0, the probe will continue to retry the connection based on backoff strategy interval, up to the number of attempts specified by the RetryCount property.

  3. The value of the RetryInterval property must not exceed 4096 seconds.

    This is the default value of the backoff strategy time that, if exceeded, will cause the probe to disconnect from the CORBA interface.
