Server B is Unavailable
When Server B dies, then Server A processes events for Servers in B’s territory until Server B comes
back, because all agents are configur
e to send events to both server, not changes are needed to
agents for achieve failover.
Both CMS
es
have a full population of all devices in both territories, events from CMS A
are active
only for A’s devices; likewise for B’s. All agents send events t
o both CMSes. Events received by a
CMS for devices in the others territory are ignored and/or purged until partner CMS is determined to
be unavailable. See Appendix B for instruction on purging events.
