To check the current status of a node, log into that node and click the
Show details
link displayed with
the cluster status on the High Availability page. The node’s current status is displayed under the
Local
Status
heading.
Use this procedure to make the current primary node the secondary node:
1. Log into the current secondary node of the cluster.
2. Click Cluster Maintenance, and then click the
Swap Primary Server
command link.
3. A progress meter is displayed while the primary node is switched. The cluster’s virtual IP address will be
temporarily unavailable while the swap takes place.
4. The swap is complete. The secondary node is now the new primary node for the cluster. The cluster is
back in a fault-tolerant mode of operation.
5. Perform any required maintenance on the new secondary node.
Updating Plugins
Plugins cannot be updated while High Availability is running. Because exact synchronization of the two
servers is required for High Availability Services, you must first destroy the cluster, then re-create the
cluster after the plugins are updated. See
Destroying a Cluster
and
Cluster Setup
in this chapter.
For information on updating plugins, see
Plugin Manager
in the
Administrator Tasks
chapter.
Destroying a Cluster
The
Destroy Cluster
command link is used to shut down a cluster and return to independent nodes. Avoid
using this command when you are accessing the cluster using its virtual IP address, as the virtual IP address
will no longer be available when the cluster has been destroyed.
Immediately after the cluster is destroyed, both nodes will have the same database and configuration state.
However, changes on one node will no longer be replicated to the other node as the cluster is no longer
functioning.
Cluster Troubleshooting
When building a cluster, use the recommended values for the downtime threshold, keep-alive rate and
configuration sync rate. You should only change these values if you have a specific requirement and have
verified that different values can be used to meet that requirement.
