Failover/Failback

travis_tmbtravis_tmb
in Firebox - FireCluster

Hello,

We have a FireCluster setup with two M370's. I have them on separate switches. I unplugged one and plugged it back in within a second to the secondary switch so I could replace the switch on the "master". The failover worked properly. I replaced the switch and plugged everything back but everything stills seems to be running on the failover unit.

Is that normal? I was expecting it to go back to the master.

Thanks

    Yes this is normal.
    The backup became the new master and the old master became the backup.
    If FireCluster automatically failed back when the old master became available again, then there would be a possible 2nd hiccup to traffic because of it, for no benefit.
