OK, this is not a BUG! This is misunderstanding with declaring PBS\_LEAF\_NAME value:

When I terminate primary, secondary take control(starts dataservice and scheduler, comm and server starts prior). I ask in this post how to set PBS\_LEAF\_NAME and conclusion was that I need use short hostname - not with domain. So conclusions from that post are wrong: SOLUTION and conclusion is: PBS\_LEAF\_NAME should be FQDN of hostnam…

**PBS\_LEAF\_NAME should be FQDN of hostname which resolves to IP of internal network!**  
Not short hostname.

Regards!
