So I've got 2 servers installed in LAN failover mode. NPM 10.1 with APM3.5.
If I go into failover manager and do a switchover by clicking on Passive/secondary server and "Make Active", no problems it fails over as expected and behaves properly when failing back.
The failover timeout under Server -> Monitoring, then click the Configure Failover... button is set for 60 secs. Under Network -> Configure Pings.. I've got ping destinations set and ping interval set to 10 secs.
Under Network -> Configure Auto-switchover, it's set for 10 pings.
If i just shutdown the primary/active server, i'd think that the Secondary server would see it lost connection with the Primary ove the channel and take over, but it doesn't. Is there something else I should need to do (PS I'm gracefully shutting down the server by shutting down FoE on primary (not the server group, but just the engine) and then shutting down via windows.
From a NIC/IP perspective the primary front-end NICs are both in the same switch, same VLAN and the channel connection is a cross over cable directly between both servers.
I do NOT have a secondary management IP address on the primary front-end NICs.
Am I doing something obviously wrong here? Or should this be working and I should open up a support case?
thanks in advance,
Bill
