Jason,
The following is an example of the failover in action. Yes you can
have multiple failovers.
I would like to see the ability to define mutiple servers. Alas I
think will have to wait for Cfengine 3.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/tmp$ cat copy-test.cf
control:
actionsequence = ( copy )
AddInstallable = ( failed1 failed2 broken )
copy:
any::
/var/tmp/test
dest=/var/tmp/test
server=192.168.1.2
failover=failed1
failed1::
/var/tmp/test
dest=/var/tmp/test
server=192.168.1.3
failover=failed2
failed2::
/var/tmp/test
dest=/var/tmp/test
server=192.168.1.4
failover=broken
alerts:
broken::
"Failed to copy configs"
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/tmp$ cfagent -f ./copy-test.cf -I
cfengine:: Couldn't open a socket
cfengine:: Unable to establish connection with 192.168.1.2 (failover)
