Multiserver jobs

  • Suppose we have created a multiserver job which is carried out on master server and on several target servers, on a schedule. After that master server crashes, full loss of data and no backup.

    Will this job be carried out on the target servers as before? How to make a newly installed server the master for this job, after the failure?

  • If the master server fails, the targets servers still have all the jobs originated from the master server. So the jobs won't loose.

    But if you installed a new master server, you will have to defect all the target servers and add them again. And here you will loose the jobs. So, script to a file all the jobs, install the master server, defect all target servers, and add them again. Then re create the jobs at the master server.

  • Is it possible to defect a target server without master server, from itself?

  • No, the target server is an entry in the master server. It must be erased from the master.

    From the target you can force a poll for example.
