Failover configuration for high-availability clusters

A failure in a high-availability cluster means that one of the servers is no longer available. If a primary server fails, you must promote a secondary server to the role of primary server. Connection Managers can be configured to perform automatic failover.

You must set the DRAUTO configuration parameter to specify how failover is performed, and then use one of the following failover options:

  • Connection Manager
  • ISV cluster management software
  • Manual switchover
