D2000 System Console - changing the server status and priority within redundant group

Right-mouse clicking on the name of a server in the list of redundant groups, servers and processes and selecting the item Edit redundancy from the open menu, opens the following dialog box allowing to change the server redundancy parameters.

State

Selection of a server status:

If server's status is SBS (StandBy server), it can be switched to HOT (active server), which is a default selection.

If server's status is HOT (active server) or TS (test server), only its priority can be changed, not the status, therefore State entry cannot be changed.

Priority

Definition of a server's priority within the redundant group:

If server's status is SBS (StandBy server) and you want to change only its priority, it is necessary to change the default value of State from HOT to SBS by clicking on the button on the right side of State. Consequently, the possible states of server will be displayed - HOT (active server) or SBS (StandBy server). Select the SBS option. Change the value of server's priority and press the OK button.

If server's status is HOT (active server) or TS (test server), to change a server's priority just change the value in entry field Priority and click OK.

Note: By changing the priority, both priority of running server and value of configuration parameter of server's priority in Windows registry will be changed on Windows platform.
