Customer requires some redundancy for Lotus Notes user access.
So we have 2 EV servers deployed:
Evault01 (with Domino Server Arc01) primary server
Evault02 (with Domino Server Arc02) standby server
For a DR test, we performed a USL failover from Evault 01 to Evault02, which completed successfully.
The EVDominoServer table was updated and Arc02 was added as an EVDG. However, when running Domino provisioning task to update the Lotus Notes mail clients to use the new URL for Domino server Arc02, Provisioning crashes. Dtrace shows it was doing a Domino ping against Arc01, failing, and then exception erroring on that failure.
It was my understanding that EV is supposed to detect that Arc01 is offline and remove it from the EVDominoServer table. This never happend after waiting at least 15 minutes. So I deleted the Arc01 entry from that table. Provisioning then ran fine, and Lotus Notes clients were now directed to Arc02, and search/shortcuts worked successfully.
Is there a better way to do this? Is this expected behavior to have provisioning crash if an EVDG is down? Does EV11.0.1 have any EVDG redundancy improvements?
Thanks.
