High Availability in a My webMethods Server Cluster
By itself, a My webMethods Server cluster does not provide high availability. You must also ensure the availability of data stored by the nodes in the cluster. To provide high availability, the database server used by the My webMethods Server database must have a failover capability.
If the cluster uses the default system content service, it in turn uses the My webMethods Server database, so it is covered by the database server failover capability. However, if you use a network content service, the network file storage device must have failover capability to support cluster high availability.
Any description of the configuration of third-party failover devices is beyond the scope of this guide.
