Problem
Failover does not work between two Passive Capture Applications (PCA).
Solution
There are two types of failover that are configured by using the PCA web console:
- Failover for delivery of hits (between two downstream servers)
- Failover between the PCA and another designated PCA
When PCA failover does not work the problem might be from using the Failover Delivery Mode (under the Delivery Tab) instead of Even Distribution for one or more downstream servers.? The Failover Delivery mode applies when there are exactly two delivery hosts present and you are intending to failover delivery if one of them is unavailable to receive traffic from the PCA.
There are steps you can do to test PCA failover between two PCAs:
There are steps you can do to test PCA failover between two PCAs:
- Stop and Start the failovered processes as described in your instructions.
- Verify the master server is delivering hits and the slave server is not.
- Stop Capture on the master server and verify it is no longer delivering hits.
- Verify the slave server is now delivering hits that is fail-over succeeded.
- Start Capture on the master server.
- Verify the master server is delivering hits and the slave server is not that is failback succeeded.
