How about putting the TEC servers behind an SLB and have
one of the servers listed as the primary, when it goes down, the SLB will send
traffic to the other TEC Server...
I
suggested exactly that idea of specifying more than one server. Our TEC
folks rejected it, because they want to make sure that all systems sending
events to TEC are always sending to the same TEC. If we specified both,
there would be a chance that we would be sending to a different TEC than the
rest of the company.
I'll
follow up on the TEC side.
Thanks!
Actually, you are asking the wrong folks. The session is established using
the tec_create_handle call in the TEC EEIF library. So how that is done is TEC
issue, not a NetView one.
That said, I believe that once the session
is started, it is persistent, and would not be affected unless it fails for
some reason (network connection drops for example) or is deliberately stopped,
as you suggested.
But the TEC conf file is supposed to permit you to
define a backup server in the ServerLocation field. As I understood it, this
fancy footwork by your staff is unnecessary. Is TEC no longer supporting
that?

Hi.
We're running NV 7.1.4 on AIX 5.1. We forward events to TEC and
specify a DNS name for the TEC server. Our TEC folks are working on a
solution whereby they can use DDNS to update the TEC server entry and point it
from the broken server to the backup server.
Does anybody know if we'll
have to touch Netview in some way when they do that? I suspect that NV
only looks up the name when nvserverd starts and will use that until a
"nvtecia -reload" is performed, or the daemon is bounced.
I'm not in a
good position to test this today, so if somebody knows off-hand, that would be
really helpful.
Thanks!
Craig
