Re: IPFailover 10.4.11 solved one problem but have a new problem.

I would agree if the box was indeed dead. If the box is healthy putting it back into the mix should return it to primary. Of course assuming public and private heartbeats are back online. That's based on the ha document from apple. when the primary comes back online the backup should release and hand over services. It should not take a shutdown of the backup and another restart of the primary defeating the purpose of this type active/passive solution.

Anyway I will re check my settings.
Thanks.

Hello all,

Well It seems the 10.4.11 release seems to have solved a few issues. I can now take over my Primary machine in full failover Great!! so that is working. Releasing is my new issue. When I reboot the Primary the Seconday sees the machine up on the Firewire IP, releases control but the Primary machines en0: IP is not starting up.

As someone who has maintained various types of clusters over the years I can say that automatic failback is always a bad idea. The primary failed for a reason, services should never go back unless you explicitly send them back when you know the box is OK.
