Script Ordering
Script ordering determines the order in which Start and Stop scripts are
run when a virtual host moves from one server to another. If you do not
configure a monitor with Start and Stop scripts, the script ordering
configuration has no effect. There are two settings:
SERIAL. This is the default setting. When a virtual host moves from one
server to another, the following strict ordering sequence for running Start
and Stop scripts is enforced:
1. The Stop script is run on all servers where the virtual host should be
inactive.
2. ClusterPulse waits for all Stop scripts to complete.
3. The Start script is run on the server where the virtual host is becoming
active.
PARALLEL. The strict ordering sequence for Stop and Start scripts is not
enforced. The scripts run in parallel across the cluster as a virtual host is
in transition.
The
PARALLEL configuration can speed up failover time for services that
do not depend on strict ordering of Start and Stop scripts. Assuming that
it is safe to run the scripts in parallel (which depends on your
application), this setting can also increase the chances of a successful
failover because ClusterPulse does not have to wait for the failing server
to finish running its Stop script.
To configure script ordering from the command line, use this option:
--ordering serial|parallel
