To configure agents for failover, you specify two or more target servers for the agent to
use. If one of the servers fails, the agent switches to another server from the
list.
About this task
If you did not configure the agent for failover when you installed the agent, you can also
configure it for failover by modifying its properties.
An agent that is configured for failover has a list of servers or agent relays to contact.
If one server or agent relay is not available, the agent tries other servers or agent relays
in the list.
Restriction: The failover list must contain
only servers or only agent relays. An agent can not have both servers and agent relays in
its failover list.
