Control Team failover behavior
If the following system connection or component fails to respond to network communication:
Then the following failover behavior occurs:
- The control team on the K2 SAN-attached system fails over and communication begins on the other control port.
- The control communication finds a path through GigE “B” switch and across an ISL to GigE switch “A” to reach the same control port on the same K2 Media Server.
- Media (iSCSI or LAN Connect) traffic keeps using the same path.
- K2 Media Server “A” is still the media file system/metadata server. The media file system (SNFS) and media database do not fail over.
- The other K2 SAN-attached systems (not affected by the connection failure) keep using the same paths for media and control, as in pre-failover behavior.
