This diagram shows an example of a typical way to create an effective failover environment.
The Framework Manager (FM) is a Windows host. All agents are UNIX hosts.
- Agent 1 and 2 contact Agent 1.
- Agent 3 and 4 contact Agent 3.
IMPORTANT:Windows supports only the Command Control Manager package.
Examples:
-
Agent 3 is downed for maintenance. Agent 4 seeks authentication from Agent 1.
-
Agent 1 is downed because of a broken network card. Agents 2, 3, and 4 seek authentication from the Framework Manager.
-
The Command Control Manager package is removed from the Framework Manager and the Agent is still broken. Agents 2, 3, and 4 seek authentication from Agent 3.
IMPORTANT:If an additional subdomain is added, agents under Subdomain 1 and 1a then seek authentication from the new Subdomain if no other Command Control Manager is available.
