I have configured failover. If only some processes on the primary server node (e.g., pbs_server.bin, pbs_comm) crash, will failover be triggered?
It depends on the type of failover configuration:
- if you have used the native failover that is configured using PBS Primary and Secondary
Failover is triggered primarily by loss of the active pbs_server, not by the failure of every individual PBS daemon
- If you have configured using pacemaker/corosync etc, then it can be triggered when one of the daemons fail
