About Automatic Manager Service Failover
You can configure the vRealize Automation IaaS Manager Service to automatically fail over to a backup if
the primary Manager Service stops.
Starting in vRealize Automation 7.3, you no longer need to manually start or stop the Manager Service on
each Windows server, to control which serves as primary or backup. Automatic Manager Service failover
is disabled by default when you upgrade IaaS with the Upgrade Shell Script or using the IaaS Installer
executable file.
