Active-Passive mode in v5.2.4.17

Active-Passive mode in v5.2.4.17

In v3, there was an option for active/passive mode setup for failover purpose on the main scheduler. I am trying to implement that for v5 and it looks like the feature has changed. In the user guide, the recommendation is to use Linux High Availability Project. We are on a windows environment and looking at the wiki page, I don't see a reference to it. Do you have recommendations on how we can implement HA in windows? Thanks.

Please use Windows clusters future. It works quite well with 24x7. Have 2 instances setup as services one on each cluster node and configure them to store 24x7 files on a shared cluster drive. Configure cluster to automatically start the secondary node service in case of the fail-over.

The two instances don't know each other though. How do changes in the master scheduler database gets updated in the slave database? Back in v3.x, there was a feature that auto updates. Thanks.

They share files. Quote:"configure them to store 24x7 files on a shared cluster drive."

PS. As compared to old v3, there is no master and slave, and no replication, that's not required anymore. There is an active and passive cluster nodes. As simple as that. Windows cluster takes care of activating nodes.
