Issue/Introduction

After installing a second node for PAM HA, we can't access to the second node PAM homepage

Environment

Release : 4.4

Cause

Expected behavior

Resolution

Let's assume that we have two nodes and the first node is installed and started working as an active node

The second node is installed as a passive node and stated (It partially starts and monitors the active node.)

 

At this state, node1 configuration is

pam.disaster.support=true

original.installation.mode=Active

 

and Node2 configuration is

pam.disaster.support=true

original.installation.mode=Passive

Node 2 c2o.log shows, "Main Site is Reachable. Will ping again after"

 

State 2: Node1: crashed/not available, Node2: Active

Whenever node2 detects that node1 is not reachable, then it resumes further to start completely and starts recovering all the processes(which were executed on node1) from DB to execute them further and changes its configurations from passive to active.

 

Additional Information

The time to become active can be changed using the disaster.switch.time. Reference:
