<h1 class="topictitle1">Failover</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p><dfn class="term">Failover</dfn> occurs when a server in a cluster
|
||
|
|
automatically switches over to one or more backup servers in the event of
|
||
|
|
a system failure.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Contrast this with a switchover, which happens when you manually switch
|
||
|
|
access from one server to another. A switchover and a failover function identically
|
||
|
|
once they have been triggered. The only difference is how the event is triggered.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>When a failover occurs, access is switched from the cluster node currently
|
||
|
|
acting as the primary node in the recovery domain of the cluster resource
|
||
|
|
group to the cluster node designated as the first backup. See recovery domain
|
||
|
|
for information about how the switchover order is determined.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>When multiple cluster resource groups (CRGs) are involved in a failover
|
||
|
|
action, the system processes the device CRGs (switchable devices) first, the
|
||
|
|
data CRGs (switchable data groups) second, and the application CRGs (switchable
|
||
|
|
applications) last.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The failover message queue receives messages regarding failover activity.
|
||
|
|
You can use it to control the failover processing of a cluster resource group.</p>

Usually, a failover results from a node failure, but there are other reasons that can also generate a failover.</li>
