3. As indicted previously Failover Groups are dynamically determined by the configuration and
cannot be specified by the user. As clusters and servers are added or deleted, the Failover
group configuration may change.
4. Set the
preferred_peer
flag on a cluster. The purpose of the
preferred_peer
parameter
is to indicate the failover peer on which the cluster is "desired" to run, and it is the peer on
which the cluster will be run if the user runs the rebalance command. This parameter is set
on the Peer that your want the cluster to be associated with, in the non-failover case. If this
parameter is not set, the cluster defaults to the Peer that has been set as the preferred
primary.
When the use_ssl flag is set, it causes messages from this Peer to a remote Peer to be transmitted
using SSL. When not set, messages are transmitted in clear text.
The flag may be set differently for Peers in failover. For example, if set on Peer A, but not set on Peer
B, heartbeats from Peer A to Peer B will be encrypted, however, heartbeats from Peer B to Peer A
WILL NOT be. Also, a configuration synchronization request from Peer A to Peer B will be encrypted
and so the response (Peer B's configuration) will also be encrypted. A configuration synchronization
request, and the response, from Peer B to peer A will not be encrypted.
All transfers between a Peer that supports this flag and an older Peer that does not are done without
using SSL, rregardless of the setting of the flag on the Peer that supports it.
Note -
The
preferred_peer
flag for all clusters that would be configured into the same Failover Group must be the
same.
