In your original email you said:
"only one of the bb servers does reporting, as determined by the
failover state"
Does that mean only one of the two sends out notifications?? If so,
why not just have two identical Hobbit servers, with all the clients
sending reports to both, and disable the [bbpage] section in
server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg on the backup system. Then your failover
solution only has to detect "death of twin" and rewrite the
hobbitlaunch.cfg with DISABLED removed from that section. I guess
Hobbit might need to be reloaded or restarted for the change to take
effect.
I haven't tried this - we don't use the paging system - I'm just
wondering if something as simple as that might work.
Yes, that approach has merit, it could work.
However I still need to give Henrik's quick solution from last week some
testing - I'm currently building a hobbit infrastructure so I can see
how his failover script behaves under pressure.
