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). You can reconfigure your environment so that traffic is directed to the primary server.

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:

  1. Shut down the Vocera Data Exchange Windows service on VMP Server 2.
  2. Restart the Vocera Data Exchange Windows service on VMP Server 1. VMP Server 1 will assume primary server status.
  3. 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 action is required.
