Hi Pierre,
The difference is that when killed, the controller socket connections will be closed with an error. The second controller will then notice immediately the failure. Upon cable unplugging, there will be no direct notification, you will have to wait for tcp timeouts, which generally are ~15min. Note that even upon timeout detection, the behavior won't be really clean and you will not be able to keep on going with the cluster. Then solution is to write a little script that will watch the network on both controllers. Let's say you take a server or a switch as a reference: just ping it all the time and upon failure, kill the controller on which the script runs, it is safer. Then, when you will plug your cable back, the remaining controller will see the error and you will be operational again.
Hope these help,
Gilles.

Hi,

I have 2 controllers, each on different server. Set to RAIDb1 like that
    <RequestManager>
      <RequestScheduler>
         <RAIDb-1Scheduler level="passThrough"/>
      </RequestScheduler>

      <LoadBalancer>
         <RAIDb-1>
            <WaitForCompletion policy="all"/>
            <RAIDb-1-LeastPendingRequestsFirst/>
         </RAIDb-1>
      </LoadBalancer>

1) When a controller crash (ctrl+C), the other one detect this failure.
2) But when I unplugged network between the two servers, no detection. On that moment, SQL updates don't answer, my software wait indefinitely request end. The first controller did the job but apparently wait for second controller reply...

I don't understand where the difference is between the two case.

Does anyone have a beginning (and maybe an end :) ) of explanation ?


Thanks in advance
