Administering high availability
When your system is deployed in an environment that is designed for high availability or disaster recovery, you must develop, configure, and test your continuous operation procedures. Continuous operation includes, but is not limited to, components of the application continuing to function after a subset of their resources is taken offline.
In summary, when a server, or number of
servers, fail in your environment you need to
ensure that the system continues to function. To
do so, the process involves:
- Detecting server failure
- Ensuring that only the functional servers are used to process requests
- Recovering the failed servers
- Configuring the environment to use the recovered servers again
The following information outlines the process for each component in a deployment of i2 Analyze.
