RS/PRA failover configuration
Can RS or PRA failover be configured so a specific appliance automatically reclaims the primary role once it comes back online?
No, once a failover occurs, the IP address associated with the hostname is assigned to the backup appliance. This IP address is no longer available without manual intervention. When the former primary appliance comes back online, it checks to see if the hostname and IP address are available. If they are not available, because they are being used by the backup appliance, it will not reclaim them and will not switch back to primary.
After a failover, all connections are established with the backup appliance, which is acting as the primary. Additionally, configuring one appliance to always assume the primary role could lead to further disruptions after a failover, as everything is still connected to the backup appliance.
