Config server backup is not working in HA

[Peter Parker]

Hi guys,

I have been setting Configuration Server Backup 8.5 for my lab, then to test HA, I stop Config Server Primary, but after I stop it, I can't login to GA by IP address of Config Server Backup, from my opinions while viewing log, I see that it is failed to switch over from Config Server Backup to Config Server Primary.

Is there anyone who can help me give me a few ideas to fix this?

Thank everyone very much!

What say primary and backup confserv logs arround the issue timestamp? What is your HA configuration for CFG layer? Is the embedded DBClient used or not?

[Peter Parker]

Hi Kubig,


Can you please check my configuration of Config Server Primary & Backup as below?

Config Server Primary:

[code][confserv]
port =2020
management-port =2021
server = dbserver
encryption = false
encoding = utf-8
langid = 1033

[log]
verbose = standard
all = stderr

[dbserver]
dbengine =mssql
dbserver =hcmcomdb
dbname =configdb
username =sa
password =1pcc@cb
response-timeout = 600


[/code]


Config Server Backup:

[code][log]
verbose = standard
all = stderr

[dbserver]
dbengine =mssql
dbserver =hcmcomdb
dbname =configdb
username =sa
password =1pcc@cb
response-timeout = 600

[authentication]
library =gauth_ldap

[gauth_ldap]
ldap-url =ldap://172.24.104.6:389/dc=ansv,dc=vn??sub?givenName=X
[confserv_b]
port=2020
management-port=2021
server=dbserver
encryption=false
encoding=utf-8
langid=1033
[/code]

Is there any the problem do with my configuration of Primary & Backup?

[Kubig]

I cannot see confserv configuration part within your confserv.cfg for backup instance - try to amend the config file and start it again. To ensure all is working just try to start the backup instance with primary role - you will see if it is working or not.
