Hi Pierre,

Which group communications are you using and how is it configured? These two cases are at the opposite ends of network failures. For example, when using TCP/IP you get the following failure semantics:

1.) Process crash. Network listener goes away and TCP/IP stack reports a broken connection back to all client. This occurs close to instantaneously.

2.) Network link down. In this case there is nobody at the other end. TCP/IP will keep retrying until it times out, which depending on network settings can be a long time. Strangely enough the easiest failure to simulate turns out to be among the harder ones to handle effectively.

Cheers, Robert

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
