Configure the BlackBerry Enterprise Server
to fail over automatically
When you configure the BlackBerry Enterprise Server to fail over automatically, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server can start
the failover process automatically depending on the health of the primary BlackBerry Enterprise Server and the standby
BlackBerry Enterprise Server. The health parameters must be greater than the failover threshold and indicate that the
primary BlackBerry Enterprise Server is unhealthy. The health parameters must also be greater than the promotion
threshold and indicate that the standby BlackBerry Enterprise Server is healthy. After the failover process occurs, the
BlackBerry Enterprise Server turns off automatic failover.
