Remove the Broker Server Dependency on Node A
The Failover Cluster Manager should control the Broker Monitor and the Broker Server. To do this, you must break the current dependency between the two services.
*To remove the Broker Server dependency on node A
1. Launch the Registry Editor using regedit or regedt32 command.
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Services.
3. Select webMethodsBroker_version_6849. If you used a port number other than 6849, the entry will end in the port number you specified when you created the Broker Server with the server_config command.
4. Navigate to the DependOnService key (type = REG_MULT_SZ). Double-click this key and clear the value from webMethodsBrokerMonitor_version to break the current dependency between the two services.
5. Click OK.
6. Additionally, set this paramater in <installation>\Broker\bin\awbrokermon.cfg: monitor-start-servers = no. This stops the monitor from triggering the start of the servers.
