Summary

This article describes a solution to one of the more common problems with the redundant server configuration.

Synopsis

The redundant server configuration relies heavily on the network environment as the three servers are constantly communicating with one another. Loss of network communication or heavy network traffic can decrease the performance of the redundant server configuration. This article describes a solution to one of the more common problems with the redundant server configuration.

Discussion

When running a three server setup on Windows 2003, one of the servers goes down. After a few moments, this causes the application to hang, and no other servers are read (i.e. no new master is selected).

One solution to this problem requires that you check with the Systems Administrator to see if the network cards within the server machines support the Windows 2003 OS.
