Restarting the Primary Server After Failover

When a failover has occurred, the Load Balancer is now directing the HTTPS traffic to the secondary VMP Server (VMP Server 2).

After this action has started, the Administrator will receive an email indicating that VMP Server 2 has become the primary server.

To reconfigure VMP Server 1 to be the primary server, follow the steps shown here.

  1. The Administrator must shut down the Vocera Data Exchange Windows service on VMP Server 2.
  2. The Administrator must restart the Vocera Data Exchange Windows service on VMP Server 1. VMP Server 1 will assume primary server status.
  3. The Administrator must restart the Vocera Data Exchange Windows service on VMP Server 2. VMP Server 2 will assume secondary server status.
Note: If VMP Server 1 is to remain as the secondary server, no further action is required.
