The activeKOM process becomes the one that logs in to the D2000 Server first. Other processes are passive KOM processes. The active KOM process can be set with the command INSTANCE SET ACTIVE. In addition, an instance can be set as the preferred with the INSTANCE SET PREFERRED command, so that it becomes active immediately when it connects to the D2000 Server.
Mode 'active-active instance'
In D2000 version 22, the possibility to configure 2 or more active KOM processes using the SET_LOAD_BAL_MODE command was added. This mode was implemented to support specific redundancy in the configuration:
...
- Only communication protocols with so-called redundancy support can be used in the redundancy of the communication process. Detailed information about support of redundancy for individual communication protocols is mentioned in the document Communication protocols.
- The behavior of the communication process connected to the redundant D2000 Server in SBS status is the same as the behavior of the passive KOM process. All the above-mentioned information is valid - the passive KOM process generally does not interfere with telemetry.
- If at least one instance of the communication process is running, it is not possible to start non-instance (/WSELF) and vice-versa.
- TELL command SET_ACT_INST allows to control the switching of the active communication process.
- TELL command SET_PREFERRED_INST allows to set setting the preferred instance of the communication process.
- We recommended installing each of instance of the communication processes on a separate computer. It enables servicing without a breakdown of the telemetry.
